Accomodation
Spritus is traditionally laid out below with a large saloon incorporating the galley directly to starboard and to port a quarter berth which converts to navigation station. The machinery space is below the bridgedeck and abaft of the companionway steps. The saloon is separated from the forward sections by a full bulkhead with hinged door. A companionway then leads to the forecabin. The interior was updated by the current owners in 2012 with replacement upholstery and remodelling the navigation area to create the quarter berth. She is fitted out with white melamine faced panelling and varnished or oiled teak woodwork all to a very high standard.
