Main Features
Accommodation
Upon Boarding from the stern through the Transom Gate, there is a U-shaped cushioned seating area to starboard that surrounds a removable cockpit table, ideal for entertaining. This seating area coverts to a fully flat sun pad ideal for relaxing and soaking up the sun. To port there is a wet bar with sink, a tap and a removable cool box.
Through the Cabin Door, below decks the saloon is located forward in the bow with two settees that convert to make a large double berth. This seating has recently been retrimmed in a modern pale grey fabric which brightens and freshens the whole area up. This is a great place to sit and relax after a day on the water. To the rear of the cabin is a surprisingly spacious aft double cabin, perfect for guests or Children. The galley is situated to starboard and is equipped with a single Origo 2000 hob, stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, and a fridge below.
To Port is the generous Heads compartment with Jabsco toilet, washbasin, and a vanity mirror.
