Accommodation :
The interior is accessed via a varnished sliding door from the cockpit. The wheelhouse is large, bright and airy thanks to the triple paned windscreen and two large panoramic side windows. There is also a roof hatch above the helm position which allows the helmsman to see when manovering within harbour and lets in additional light. The galley is to port and features a formica topped, two piece wooden worktop which is hinged at either end and when raised reveals a Plastimo gas fuelled oven with 2-burner hob and separate grill. There is a stainless steel sink with pressurised fresh water and storage below. Front loading fridge for perishables. Large locker in cockpit sole for ambient goods.
Opposite the galley is the inner helm with wooden varnished spoked steering wheel, chart table with storage and an array of electronic navigation aids. There is a double helm seat which can be pulled in and out.
Moving forward and again through a sliding wooden door is the main saloon. This space features a U-shaped seating area to starboard and a single settee to port. The starboard seating area converts to a large double. Slightly offset saloon table with drop leaves and an internal bottle storage space. Hull mounted cupboard storage post and starboard above the seating. Port lights with curtains.
Between the saloon and the double berthed fore cabin is a large heads compartment with Jabsco sea toilet and a pull out sink with pressurised cold fresh water. There is a storage unit above and a mirror on the forward bulkhead. Opposite the heads is a hanging locker and a shelved storage cupboard.
In the bow is the double berthed cabin. The sleeping experience is enhanced by the addition of sprung slats which also allow airflow and minimise condensation.

Construction
Solidly built GRP hull with twin keels and a central mini skeg to protect the saildrive unit. The keels are toed fore and aft to provide aerofoiled effect and minimise drag when sailing. They also allow the owner to berth in drying out areas and extend the chosen cruising grounds. The underwater areas are anti foul coated which minimises growth and maintenance. This has been touched in over the years.
The topsides and superstructure are white hi-gloss gelcoat with the hull to deck join finished in a protective black rubber D-fender. The side decks and foredeck are finished in a grey non slip. Moving forward is safe and easy thanks to strategically placed teak grab rails and stainless steel stanchions with double set of coated guard wires. Stainless steel bow and stern rails enhance security. Large cockpit with seating port and starboard. Extending cockpit table folds into a recess when not in use. Varnished tiller can be easily removed when in harbour. The cockpit is kept dry thanks to a cockpit canopy.
Electrical
There are both 12V and 240V systems on board. Bank of 3x12V batteries providing engine start and domestic power. The batteries are fitted with isolators and are recharged in one of three ways. They can be charged via the engine alternator when under engine power, or by a wind turbine when sailing or on an unserviced berth. The batteries are located beneath the internal wheelhouse floor making access easy should they need changing. 12V panel with fused selector switches below dash. Further switch panel for navigation instruments at dashboard.
