From forward:-

Chain locker with watertight bulkhead to forward sail locker which houses the bowthruster and which has lots of stowage for maintenance items and work bench. It also has a Pullman berth.  Through a watertight door to port the crew heads with shower and basin, from which you access the port crew cabin with upper and lower bunks and ample storage.  On the starboard side is the captain’s cabin with double berth, Pullman and separate shower and head.  Aft of the crew accommodation is the lower saloon.

The galley is to port with an island unit amidships giving ample working space.  The cooker and refrigerators are in brushed stainless steel.  To starboard is an ample seating area with large dining table. 

Up steps to the deck saloon with the main seating area to port and large navigatorium to starboard. The forward edge of the seating is retained with stainless steel supports allowing good visibility to the lower saloon and giving the yacht a very open and attractive atmosphere.

Down steps aft to mirror-image guest cabins port and starboard each with twin berths and separate heads and with showers, both have watertight doors.  Forward of these is access to the engine room, which is spacious and well laid out.  A corridor divides the guest cabins and leads to the owner’s stateroom.

There is an offset double to port and sofa to starboard with a trotter box to make an occasional berth.  To starboard is separate owner’s access onto the deck.  The owner’s heads compartment with separate large shower is to starboard.  There is also a huge amount of stowage as well as a dressing table/desk.

BARE NECESSITIES is a small ship.  To capable design by Rob Humphreys she has been hugely customized to fit her for serious use.  She is currently MCA compliant to Category 2 and as a Class VI Passenger Ship.  She is able to sail with 18 charter guests.

She has a stunning light blue metallic livery with silver lines as well as a striking unusual metallic rig colour which changes colour from green to purple as the light hits it and is enhanced with both up and down lighters on the spreaders.

Her interior has been upgraded for comfortable family use with ample room for crew forward and excellent family quarters aft.  She is light and airy and there are far too many custom details to list here that were incorporated in build to make her liveable and efficient.

Her navigation, entertainment and monitoring systems are state-of-the-art and extremely intuitive.

Her captain has overseen the entire build and she has been run with a full time professional crew. She has been run and maintained regardless of cost.  Any warranty/new build glitches have been rectified and she is totally ready to sail.  She is offered at a substantial discount on new build cost.
