Two berth cabin forward; saloon double berth conversion to port with single berth starboard side; master cabin aft, with either a double berth to starboard side or, two single berths, one to either side of the centreline.

Forward Cabin: Two single cross-over berths with large, front-accessed locker beneath the head-end of the starboard berth. Additional cave locker beneath this berth too, with the more usual under-berth lockers beneath the port side’s berth. Two fixed hull ports with curtains and overhead opening deck hatch. Access to the cabin is easy through a double hinged, folding door that may be held back against the bulkhead, maximizing the available floor space. 

 

Door to: 

Saloon: Seating to port with room for up to perhaps six people within the offset dinette, with outside views through seated-height windows to both topsides. This seating can be converted to a double berth using the lowered saloon table. A single berth/bench seating is provided to the starboard side of the Saloon There is considerable storage space under and behind the saloon seating area (with front access in the case of the starboard seating), supplemented by deeply fiddled shelves to the hull side, outboard of the seating. A double gang 13 Amp socket is fitted to starboard, with a single to port side. 

 

Two steps up to raised galley/internal helm area: 

 

Internal Helm Position: Raised helm’s seat, with chart table outboard to starboard and alongside the helm’s right elbow. Excellent outside views. Modern 12V DC distribution panel and space for instrumentation fitted above the chart table (with ample space for additional instrument fitment if required). Autopilot control and GPS colour screened chart plotter mounted ahead of the internal steering wheel. Adjacent VHF/DSC radio. 12v Socket. 

 

Galley area to port: A generously sized, L-shaped galley enjoys light and views through the raised, forward-facing and side windows. The galley is fitted with a renowned ‘Force 10’ gas cooker (fitted with a double hob and oven), beneath a hinged cover, while the forward facing work surface accommodates a stainless steel sink and drainer, with hot & cold pressurised water supply. A front-opening refrigerator by Isotherm is fitted beneath the counter top, while a large, top opening dry staples locker is fitted in the corner of the work surface between cooker and sink. Ample storage cupboards for an extended period on board. 

 

One step down to heads compartment and aft cabin: 

 

Heads compartment: Located immediately inside the companionway to starboard, with oodles of headroom that facilitates plenty of height for a potentially good shower (drain electrically pumped overboard, rather than into the bilge). A Lavac marine toilet is fitted and provided with a holding tank (45L), provided with a level indicator, transfer valve and deck suction point. 

 

Aft cabin: A large master cabin with plenty of versatility and good headroom beneath the raised aft deck behind the centre cockpit. The berthing arrangements here could provide a double berth (with head end forward and feet toward the transom) on the starboard side, or two single berths, one each side of the centerline footwell, or a ‘king’-sized ‘double’ running athwartships and utilising an infilling support panel of plywood and cushion. Meanwhile, there is also another single berth/seating running fore and aft and parallel with the walk through area outboard of the cockpit and engine space. Two fixed hull ports - one to either topside -combine with another fixed port to the cockpit’s footwell and an aft-facing overhead hatch to provide light and ventilation. The 240V AC protection and distribution systems have been installed at the forward end of this cabin, behind the folding, double-hinged door to the cabin.

General note on safety equipment: Any safety equipment such as Liferafts, EPIRBS, fire extinguishers and flares etc. are usually personal to the current owner(s) and if being left on-board as part of the sale of a used vessel may require routine servicing, replacement, or changing to meet a new owners specific needs.

The keel box is an integral part of the hull lay-up. All main bulkheads were bonded into the hull at main lay-up stage the deck is bonded to the hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit. The engine bearers are also an integral part of the hull structure. 

 

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL 

The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and as transverse and longitudinal stiffening member for the keel assembly. The fixed ballast casting is fitted into a recess in the hull and secured with multiple stainless steel bolts. The lifting keel itself is cast iron and incorporates a stainless steel pivot at the leading edge which connects to the grounding plate. The keel is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump, also equipped with a hand operated back-up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance.
