The forward stateroom has a very spacious v-berth with hanging locker, drawers, and an enclosed head. Aft of the forward stateroom is a three step companionway that leads up to the galley/helm/saloon/dinette. There are hardwood parquet floors throughout the boat. The large, leatherette upholstered U-shaped settee accommodates six people. Heading further aft down a three step companionway you enter the aft stateroom. There are two berths, one twin and one full, and an enclosed head in the corner. There is also deck access through a door at the rear of the aft stateroom.

The main salon is entered from doors both port and starboard.  The main salon area consists of the captains computer/radio desk station, entertainment center, L shaped settee seating around the dining table, bar area, inside helm station and galley-up design.  This allows the cook to be part of the group while entertaining.  The galley up also makes day to day food prep easier with no stairs to climb, and pleasant with the large window views.

The port side settee area has been converted to a computer/radio station for the captain’s monitoring of the weather.  The main salon cushions have been redone.
