Accommodations The starboard-side galley runs from the companionway to the aft bulkhead, arranged in an efficient L-shape with generous work zones and storage. Corian counters frame a top-load freezer, front-load refrigerator, and Force 10 oven along the hull side, with lockers above and a microwave handy. A door in the aft bulkhead opens directly into the starboard cockpit locker for bonus stowage.

Aft to port, the guest cabin offers a wide double berth and wardrobe, accessed via the port aft bulkhead door. Forward is the day/guest head, reachable from both the cabin and the salon. Just ahead, a forward-facing navigation station sits opposite the dinette, with a supportive, ergonomic seat and storage beneath.

The salon provides a spacious U-shaped dinette to starboard with a centerline bench (extra storage inside) and a two-seat settee to port. The table drops to create an additional double berth and includes a removable leaf for flexible dining.

The owner’s suite forward is slightly offset to port for an airy feel and easy flow. Built-in lockers line both sides, with further storage beneath the island-style queen berth, which is open at the foot for side access. Three opening hatches deliver light and ventilation. The en-suite head to starboard features a separate shower stall.
