Forward Cabin: A straightforward 'V'-shaped berth may be converted to a double with an infilling cushion covering the space immediately ahead of the doorway, above the sole. A 

deep-fiddled stowage shelf is fitted to the hull either side, with deep, flow-coated stowage also found under the berths. Light and through ventilation is ensured by an aft-opening deck hatch over the berth. 

Main Saloon: U-shaped seating to port (with an in-filling panel and cushions to provide an occasional double berth) and single, tapering berth to starboard. Two deep fiddled shelves for convenient stowage to either side in this cabin, with all the under berth/seat space dedicated to stowage too (the tanks are beneath the aft cabin's berth and in the cockpit locker). A substantially built and securely fitted table is provided with two leaves and offers comfortable dining for four people as well as plenty of security when moving about the accommodation at sea. 

Chart working area: A fixed chart table - with provision for chart stowage within, faces aft to the starboard side of the main saloon. The navigator sits on the head-end of the starboard settee/berth, with their left shoulder alongside the 12V DC distribution panels, VHF radio 

Immediately abaft the chart table is a dry hanging locker 

 

Galley: Located to port (to be on the 'downhill' side when hove-to on starboard tack), 

immediately at the foot of the companionway, the galley is of 'L'-shape, with a stainless steel sink facing forward on a peninsular that accommodates a top opening coolbox. 

Neptune 4500 Two burner gas cooker with oven & grill 

A useful stowage locker is provided within the end of the work peninsula to supplement an under-sink shelved locker, while a narrow-shelved locker immediately to the aft side of the cooker was provided too. Primary crockery or large food staples are catered for in the underside deck locker, with sliding acrylic doors. Pressurised cold water supply to sink. 

 

Aft Cabin: The aft cabin is notably generous for a boat of the size, with the berth's area 

being comparable with other designs of 31' & 33' overall length. A half-height hanging 

locker is fitted immediately inside the cabin to port of the doorway. Battery containments and the freshwater tank is fitted beneath this berth. Light and ventilation are provided by the standard portlight to the companionway area, supplemented by another opening portlight to the cockpit's footwell. 

 

Heads Compartment: Located to starboard of the companionway steps, this compartment is primarily formed using the same sub-moulding as was used by Westerly in the later Storm 33 - it may genuinely be considered generous for a 28-footer! 

Jabsco manual sea toilet 

Moulded hand basin with electrically pumped cold water only is provided inboard of a large, under-deck locker. 

Light and ventilation is by means of a portlight that opens to the companionway bridge deck.
