Pilot berth to starboard which extends aft beneath the starboard cockpit bench. This is an ideal storage space for the likes of bedding when not being used.
Moving forward and at the rear end of the starboard settee is a small chart table with drawer chart storage. There is an extension piece for the chart table should it be required.
Both starboard and port settees have removable backrests which then act as comfortable lee boards. There is a saloon table but this is currently removed as not required by the present owners. The table is available on board.
To port of the companionway is the ergonomic galley which features a stainless steel sink, top loading larder and a gimballed methylated spirit stove with 2-burners. This is a cheap and highly efficient method of cooking. Plentiful storage in the hull mounted cupboards and beneath the saloon berths.
A sliding door in the forward bulkhead reveals a heads compartment to port and a hanging space to starboard. The heads has a pull out sink but the water has been disconnected as has the the galley sink.
