Additional Accommodation Details

The interior offers up to seven berths in three cabins plus the saloon. Double berth forward, two settee berths in the saloon, a double berth in the port aft cabin and a single berth in the starboard aft cabin.

The interior has had standing water in the bilge for a long time so the sole boards will need replacing, new upholstery, replace the head linings and much re-varnishing necessary.
