Accommodation :
The accommodation aboard is both thoughtfully designed and highly practical, combining style with comfort. Entry to the saloon is via a wide sliding door from the cockpit, leading into a bright, welcoming space enhanced by a large panoramic windscreen and generous side windows. The interior features attractive "teak & holly" striped laminate flooring and smart, neutral grey upholstery throughout.
To port, you'll find the saloon’s seating and dining area. The hinged table extends easily for meals or entertaining. Clever use of space includes a storage drawer beneath the aft seat and additional storage under the forward seat. The forward seat’s backrest flips to form a comfortable forward-facing co-pilot seat, and the whole area can convert into an additional double berth when required.
Opposite the seating area is the galley, finished with wooden cabinetry and a lift-up worktop revealing a stainless steel two-burner hob and sink combination, complete with pressurised hot and cold water. Below is a large storage unit with shelving for crockery and provisions, along with conveniently located 3-pin sockets and a fridge.
Two steps down from the saloon lead to the forward cabin and the heads compartment. The heads is situated to starboard and includes a manual toilet (replaced in March 2025), sink with vanity unit, and a pull-out shower head with a tray and pump-out system.
The forward cabin offers a comfortable double berth and a wardrobe for hanging clothes.
