ACCOMMODATION

 

 

 

Summary of Accommodation:

Upholstery and wool carpet in saloon replaced 2001. All scotchguarded.

Interior joinery is in well-matched matt varnished sapele.

Soles are of varnished maple, edged with mahogany and with fitted carpets.

 

Description of layout from forwards:

 

Full width owner’s cabin with double berth. Adjacent to the foot of the berth on the port side is a dressing table and stool. Shelving to either side of berth and suspended locker at high level under the side decks. Topsides lined with off-white closed battening which is a very attractive effect.

 

At the forward end to starboard, this cabin is fitted with a large wardrobe with, just aft, a large shower compartment which includes a wash hand basin and teak grating to the sole. On port side just adjacent to the door leading through to saloon is a head compartment with a Vacuflush toilet and wash hand basin.   Headroom in the cabin is good at its aft end.   Good ventilation and light provided by of two large hatches at the forward end of the cabin, one at aft end and one in shower compartment. Eyeball electric lighting in deckhead.

 

Moving aft into the extremely attractive saloon, headroom is extremely good - generally 6’6² beneath the beams.                  The deckheads are white and simulate the underside of a traditional laid deck. An L-shaped small settee to port and    a large L-shaped settee with dining table to starboard.  

 

In the starboard aft corner of the saloon is a custom-made bar which contains a stainless steel sink, bottle disposal slot in worktop and drinks refrigerator outboard. There is also a combined icemaker and refrigerator on the door of which is mounted the optics. Just ahead are drawers for glasses stowage and a clothes washing machine is directly beneath the optics. Aft of the bar is the navigation station, still with good headroom.

 

The galley is off the port side of the saloon within a recess between two end pedestals which gives the crew a good         working area.   This contains at its forward end a refrigerator, microwave, cooker hood, and a stainless steel Alpes              cooker in gimbals. Beneath the forward pedestal is a freezer which is top loading and underneath the inboard             pedestal is a trash compactor. At the aft end of the galley are numerous drawers, a cupboard and a further           refrigerator with deep freeze beneath it. Adjacent to the galley is the entry to the engine room.

 

Aft of both the galley and the navigation station are doors to the two guest cabins with their en suite head compartments. The cabins share a centreline shower stall which is accessed from either side. Each cabin has a large V-berth double berth, a dressing table, cupboard and lockers.
