INTERIOR ACCOMMODATION

 

Goshawk is fitted out and equipped in such a way as to provide her owners and crew comfortable accommodations wherever they see fit to cruise.

 

The interior accommodations of Goshawk are well thought out; the layout works equally well for either racing offshore with a large crew or for coastal cruising with fewer participants aboard. The interior accommodations are finely finished with varnished cherry joinery and bulkheads. The cabin sole is varnished sycamore bordered by cherry. Countertops for the galley and heads (2) are also high gloss varnished sycamore with varnished cherry fiddles, drawers and locker fronts.

 

 

MASTER STATEROOM

 

Forward is a private sleeping cabin with a full sized queen berth on centre. This cabin has a private head with shower (to port) and a chest of drawers and large hanging locker (to starboard).  Lighting in the master cabin was recently redone. The door, leading aft out of the cabin, is on centre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

GUEST CABINS

 

Moving aft are two more private sleeping cabins (to port and starboard). Each cabin has a single berth and is fitted with drawers, lockers and a hanging locker. To port is a large stall shower, accessible from the passageway.

 

MAIN SALOON

 

The main saloon is traditional in feel. A transom bench settee with lockers above is to starboard. Facing this settee are two newly built-in lounge seats with a lovely table locker in between. Outboard, above the lounge seating, are lockers with lead-pane glass doors. A lovely oval deep sycamore table with ebony perimeter and compass rose inlay is set between the centreline and the built-in seating, leaving free passage through the main cabin. It can be kept at “cocktail-table” height or raised to dining height, and includes two leaves, so that it opens to a full-sized dining table reaching from the settee on starboard to the chairs to port.  One or two additional chairs could be stowed in the main cabin locker, so that six can be comfortably seated at the table. At the aft end of the main saloon (to port) is a large hanging locker. To starboard is the Navigation Station, which faces aft for communication with the cockpit.

 

The galley is located aft (to port). Opposite (to starboard) is the after head followed by a (single) quarter berth. The companionway, on centre, leads to the cockpit.

 

DECK DETAILS

 

Furthest forward is a below decks locker in which both anchors, accompanying chain and rode(s), sails, dock lines and fenders are normally stored. The after section of this locker is divided into three separate compartments into which the individual chain & rode(s) can be faked for easy, quick access. There is considerable space forward of the ground tackle compartments, and in normal operation this area is used for storage of sails, dock lines and fenders. Forward of this storage area is a partial bulkhead through which one can access the chain plate assembly for the headstay.

 

Furthest aft is a designated life raft locker which is designed specifically for use with the current life raft (12-man Winslow Superlite).

 

Forward of the life raft locker and aft of the cockpit area is a large lazerette storage area which is generally used for sail storage.

 

Port and starboard in the cockpit area are two large under-seat lockers. From and in these lockers, access can be gained to all of the principle mechanical systems (engine, generator, watermaker, fuel manifold, refrigeration, steering etc).

In the summer of 2005 Goshawk also participated in the Opera House Cup sailing the course as an unofficial entrant and starting after the general fleet (15 - 20 minutes) and 12-meters (5 minutes). At the finish Goshawk had passed all but 2 of the 12-meters and a significant portion of the general fleet.

 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

 

GOSHAWK has been lovingly maintained since new and has just completed an interior refit at Wayfarer Marine in Camden.  This included a full mechanical and electrical systems overhawl and service, a complete repaint and she now boasts a stunning white hull.

 

With her enviable race record she would make an ideal race boat or equally family cruising yacht.
