Interior Arrangements
Aft Cabin
Entering the boat from the stern, you are welcomed into a practical and well-equipped aft cabin. To port, a convenient day toilet/cloakroom features a Thetford cassette lavatory (with spare cassette), hand basin with hot and cold water, filtered drinking water tap, and a heated towel rail. The stern cabin also includes a small full-height hanging space and a 240V Candy washing machine with shelving above for added utility.
Opposite, a fitted workbench with vice provides a dedicated workspace for DIY or craft enthusiasts (easily removable if not required). Beyond this lies a convertible guest cabin, featuring a free-standing sofa that opens out into a 4’6” double bed, with the option of a removable single bunk above, a clever design offering comfortable guest accommodation or additional lounging space as needed.
Master Cabin
Located midships, the spacious master cabin features a fixed full-size (4ft 6in) across width double berth, complemented by overhead cupboards, two full-height wardrobes, and reading spot lights. The layout maximises storage and comfort, creating a bright and restful sleeping space.
Bathroom
The main bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with a large wall mirror, giving a sense of additional space. Fitted with a pump-out macerator toilet, hand basin, 4ft bath with shower and glass screen, and a heated towel rail connected to the Webasto diesel-fired heating system, it provides the comforts of home while cruising.
Galley
A well-equipped galley features a Caprice gas cooker with four burners, grill, oven, and useful pan storage, together with a Danfoss stainless-steel 12V fridge. A Nature Pure filtered water system ensures clean drinking water, while plentiful storage beneath the work surfaces keeps the space neat and functional. A freestanding table provides additional workspace or dining area, and a starboard-side hatch floods the galley with natural light and ventilation.
Saloon
The open-plan saloon is a warm and inviting space with ample flexibility for free-standing furniture. A Stovax Stockton 3 multi-fuel stove provides a cosy focal point, complemented by a wall-mounted TV/DVD player and an extendable freestanding dining table. Hinged steps lead out to the bow deck, offering additional storage and access to a full cratch canopy, perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing under cover.
