Boarding "Chesapeake Rogue" is a breeze through a transom door onto the
covered aft deck from a floating pier or through side gates near the
pilothouse doors for a taller fixed pier. Her aft deck is covered by
the bridge overhang giving ample shade and protection and features a
large lazarette storage area, engine room access door and aft docking
station. Entry to the salon forward is via two watertight doors which
lead in from the cockpit to a beautiful living space. The salon has
two barrel chairs to port and a L-shaped settee with table to starboard.
This area shows like new with fresh curtains, soft goods and carpet
just being redone in early 2018. The interior is crafted in a warm teak
finish that is in fabulous condition and is complimented by burl wood
cabinet tops and granite in the galley. Attention to detail is found
throughout with bow front cabinetry, numerous drawer and cabinet
storage, teak valences, teak stair risers, teak and holly soles and
more.The salon joins nicely into a full feature
galley with a large pass through taking advantage of the large windows
and natural light found throughout. The galley has granite counter
tops, dual stainless steel sinks, in counter trash receptacle, Tundra
refrigerator and freezer, Viking Professional Series Stainless Steel
Convection Oven and Microwave, Princess three burner stove top with
splash guard, and teak and holly flooring. Immediately across from the
galley is a teak cabinet that cleverly holds a trash compactor and a
combination washer and dryer.
Four gentle steps
up from the galley/salon area is the pilothouse which offers another
settee and table to port, helmsman chair centerline, port and starboard
side dutch pilothouse doors and a beautiful fully equipped helm. The
reverse rake windshield with its dual arm wipers give hint to this boats
cruising capabilities and it would be hard to find a more comfortable
steering station in a mid-40 foot boat then what you have here.
Just
up from the pilothouse is the bridge deck with a second flybridge helm
station. Similar to the pilothouse this helm is centerline and has
updated Simrad electronics. The flybridge has a captain and companion
seat mounted on top of a large storage cabinet and there is additional
seating to the starboard side of the bridge. The boat deck allows for a
12' AB tender with 20hp Honda to be stored and easily launched using
the Brower Systems 800lb davit. Other features on the bridge are a
bimini top over the helm and seating area (redone in 2018), spreader
lights and a hinged electronics arch which can be lowered for passages
with height restrictions (this would be a terrific Great Loop boat!!).
The
staterooms and heads are forward of the salon and galley with a guest
stateroom to port and the master stateroom forward in the bow. The
guest stateroom has L-shaped bunks that are full adult size with the
lower bunk having extra width that many couples would find more than
enough room to sleep comfortably together on. The guest stateroom has
drawer and hanging locker storage with the locker being finished with
cedar lining. The guest head is across the companionway to starboard
and features a stall shower. The master stateroom is forward and
offers a centerline queen berth, his and her cedar lined lockers, drawer
storage and its own ensuite head with stall shower.
A
bonus area can be found on the bow which is easily accessed via the
pilothouse doors. Here one can sit in the built in forward facing
settee and enjoy the view and a good breeze while underway or a private
area when docked stern to. The bench seat has a canvas cover to protect
it while not in use (done in 2016) and there is also a generous storage
locker for bow lines just to its starboard. Ground tackle includes a
Muir Chetah Windlass, 60lb plow anchor, 100ft chain/200ft rope rode and a
Fortress lunch hook. Electrical hookups are found both forward and
aft making plugging in easy no matter how you are docked.
