While boarding I appreciated the step provided as the gate is quite high off the dock on the port side. The long expansive bow is impressive; high steel bulwarks, covered walkway and stern provide protection from wave action while underway or weather while at anchor.

This boat is unique as it effectively has two living areas: pilothouse and below decks. The gorgeous mahogany and acacia floors throughout the boat, etched glass doors, whimsical décor and layout of the berthing quarters demonstrate purposefulness and craftsmanship. There is a stout-hearted soul in evidence here.

You enter via a door, either port or starboard, midpoint in the pilothouse. Aft is a U-shaped settee and large table. This is a cozy area complete with bookshelves on either side and natural light through large windows. Just forward of the door to starboard is a space (which may be set up as a bar or buffet area) with an under counter refrigerator and TV hidden behind cabinet doors. The helm station is positioned starboard with two helm chairs and a dash laid out with easily operated controls, two 12” Simrad MFD’s, and all gauges. To port is a long cabinet with storage below -- a perfect place for paper charts while underway.

A companionway leads to the lower living quarters.

The large dining and U-shaped galley areas are inviting. The galley, starboard, has an enviable number of cupboards, four burner propane cooktop, LG microwave/convection oven, and midsize refrigerator. The very large dining table seems able to seat about 8 - 10 people, or is a great place to spread out a puzzle or project for people to work on together. The washer and dryer are located just forward of the galley on the starboard side, hidden behind cabinet doors yet conveniently located.

The private guest suite is furthest forward with an elevated platform queen bed, private toilet, sink and vanity. The shower is accessed via the guest suite and located in the bow. It is very large and tiled; beautiful. An interesting note: both toilets (guest and master) are European household toilets using freshwater and gravity flush. No seawater, no vacuum pumps - just a quiet flush!

A companionway leads aft from the dining area. The full stand-up engine compartment (with ample room to easily access all components) is located midway to starboard under the pilothouse. Storage cabinets and a hanging locker are to port.

The master suite is aft. Though compact, it is absolutely relaxing and cozy: a built-in queen bed against the aft bulkhead, small sink vanity, private toilet, and a small settee are designed with European efficiency.

The current owner expressed falling in love with the boat at first sight – I certainly understand the sentiment!
