The design of this custom raised deck salon provides two couples with equivalent staterooms.  For shorter durations, additional berths are afforded by taking the dining settee down to a double and using the salon settee, thereby allowing up to seven berths.  The interior is finished in an attractive contemporary white-washed maple with varnished solid teak and holly soles accented by custom art glass and decorative tiles. 6\'-6\" headroom throughout.  There is an abundance of natural light and ventilation with eleven Lewmar hatches with screens, two dorades, and the entire raised deck salon is surrounded with large fixed windows.  When natural ventilation is not sufficient to keep her comfortable, below decks there are two reverse-cycle air conditioning units (heat or cool).  Artificial light is equally abundant, with swivel style reading lamps at each settee and berth and several overhead lamps in working areas.

Starting forward is a workshop with extensive storage for tools and fittings in drawers and lockers, as well as a work bench to port.  Access to the double anchor locker is forward. The aft bulkhead with watertight door acts as a collision bulkhead and isolates the work shop/storage area from the forward cabin.

Next aft is the Forward Suite which includes forward most the enclosed head fitted with manual W.C. plumbed to the forward holding tank, vanity with sink with H&C pressure water, and ensuite shower draining to a separate sump with pump.  Aft of the head is the full-width Forward Stateroom with queen-sized berth to port while opposite is extensive storage in hanging locker, four drawer bureau, and three other lockers, as well as a small dressing seat.

The U-Shaped Dining Settee is next aft to starboard with a custom bird\'s eye maple pedestal mounted dining table.  When desired, the table may be dropped down to berth height, forming a generous double berth.  Storage under, behind ,and above the dining settee is voluminous.

Opposite is the U-Shaped Galley, featuring Corian counters with deep fiddles, double basin stainless sink with H&C pressure water, and manual fresh and salt ater faucets are located on centerline.  There is extensive storage for food stuffs and galley wares in several lockers and a set of drawers, while chilled and frozen food stuffs are easily handled in the two large compartments aft (Sea Frost top loading freezer and top and front loading refrigeration).  A Force 10 three-burner gimballed propane stove with oven and broiler handles cooking needs, while a nearby microwave conveniently addresses re-heats.

Up three steps to the Raised Deck Salon.  To port is a U-shaped settee, which will comfortably seat five to six people with storage under and behind.  A coffee table (custom bird\'s eye maple table) adjoins.  Aft and above there are bookshelves to port and lockers.  Opposite is a shorter bench seat with storage under and behind, again with adjacent lockers.  The locker doors\' P&S are finished with custom decorative art glass. The house for the raised deck salon is well-designed and makes this space especially bright and airy, as well as affording the occupants sitting views of the harbor.

The Navigation Station is fwd. and to starboard of this space and is forward facing.  There is an accompanying navigator\'s chair.  The yacht\'s electrical distribution system is located here, along with a full array of navigational and communication electronics, which are detailed under electronics.  Much of the raised deck salon sole is easily removed to provide exceptional access to mechanicals and other vessel systems. 

The centerline companionway leads to the cockpit, while just to starboard and down two steps is the Aft Suite.  To starboard is the private aft head with access either from the salon or from the aft stateroom.  This head features a large separate stall shower compartment, Vacuflush W.C. plumbed to the holding tank, vanity with sink with pressure H&C water, and storage in lockers and drawers.   To port is the large aft stateroom with offset queen-sized berth.  Above the berth there is storage in under deck lockers and forward of the berth there is generous storage in a hanging locker, four drawer bureau, and six other lockers as well as a dressing seat.  Inboard of the berth there is a compartment housing the washer/dryer and then inside access to the large lazarette, generator, and sail locker.

FLYING WHITE is a very comfortable boat throughout. The focus was to provide two couples with generous space for long range cruising, so while she may not have the three staterooms often found on boats this size, she is far more commodious and offers far more storage as well as providing multiple areas for reading and lounging.
