The bright and airy heads are located to port, opposite the dressing table area, and fitted with washbasin having a hot and cold mixer tap, and a Jabsco manual sea toilet.

The saloon is trimmed extensively in teak with blue soft furnishings and a teak and holly sole. Dabrona has two double berth cabins aft the starboard of which is fitted with a Jabsco sea toilet and washbasin in a sort of open plan configuration.

She is currently lying on a marina pontoon berth within the safe confines of Whitehaven harbour located on the west coast of Cumbria and having direct access to the Irish sea.
