Being of post 1984 vintage, the joinery within 'Lucy Louise' is of the more desirable teak-faced plywood with solid teak cappings, head-linings are of foam-backed vinyl; the majority of which are original and have been re-attached as necessary, albeit without the foam in some areas. Headroom of some 6' 1" at the base of the companionway steps. All berths are 6' 3" long with those in the saloon, straight and parallel to the centreline and provided with lee boards thereby making excellent sea berths. The cushions and covers were renewed in 2014.
The for'cabin offers a conventional double 'V'-berth with stowage beneath and shelves, some 6' in length on both sides. Despite deploying the infill there remains standing room to change clothing abaft the head of the berth, with a dedicated hanging locker, in addition to the more communal locker opposite the heads compartment.
The heads' compartment is forward and to port of the centreline, with an optional additional deck hatch over for greater light and ventilation. A Lavac marine toilet is fitted. Hot and cold pressurised water is supplied to the stainless steel handbasin. Domestic hot-water is supplied via an 'on-demand' Paloma gas-fired heater located within this non-sleeping area.
The saloon settees, re-upholstered in 2014, convert to sleeping berths utilising the space beneath the side locker units to increase width right to the side of the hull and the settee backs provide leeboards. The port side settee converts to a double berth for harbour use and there is good daytime stowage of pillows/blankets/duvets behind the backrests in addition to the space beneath and lockers with deep fiddled shelves over, above. The double-leafed table is a wonderful feature of the Fulmar's interior; genuinely big enough to accommodate six diners and securely mounted to the hull structure and thereby offer secure support/handhold to crew in a seaway.
The Navigation Station is to port and enjoys a dedicated seat rather than relying upon the head of the quarter-berth. The forward-facing chart table, with chart storage under, will accommodate a folded Admiralty chart and is supported by a 3-drawer plinth. There is also a 5' long locker with sliding perspex doors above and bulkhead-mounted navigation instruments.
Aft of the Nav. Station there is a very generous quarter-berth that is 3' 10" wide at its head and an opening portlight to the cockpit well lends valuable light and ventilation to this area.
The "L"-shaped galley, to starboard at the base of the companionway, offers a large inset stainless steel sink with pressurised hot and cold water supply. There is an electrically refrigerated icebox (operating on either 12V DC or 240V AC and a gimballed, replacement gas cooker by Dometic (approx 7 years old) featuring a hob with three burners, grill and oven. There is excellent stowage with cut-outs in the aft bulkhead for crockery, a cutlery drawer and a locker under the sink, and an additional locker with three shelves.
