MAIN CABIN

The main cabin is open to the galley behind it. Like the galley, it has a height of 6’6” so there is headroom throughout the boat. There are two full length bunks along the sides of the cabin. In the middle is a table. Open storage areas under both bunks provide ventilated areas useful for storing items like drinks and wine to keep cool against the hull.


Port Side

MainCabin, Port Side
  • A couch is 2 feet wide by over 6 feet long; pillows and fleece throw spreads are included.
  • There are 6 storage cupboards flush to the frame. Open them via lifting to clear the wood “hooks”. They are cushioned with sunbrella-covered foam for comfortable sitting
  • The open shelf for books and/or other items has a removable wood protector.
  • On the front bulkhead is the rack for the Fusion MS-AV650 Marine Entertainment system with DVD/CD Player; shown above it is one of the 2 Fusion MS-OS420 marine quality 100 watt Box Speakers.
  • (not shown) The propane fireplace is on the right side of the bulkhead.

Starboard Side

MainCabin, Starboard Side
  • It is basically a duplicate of the port side.
  • The Shipmate wood fireplace is on the aft bulkhead.
  • The main fire extinguisher is on the galley bulkhead.
  • Storage hooks are currently holding the 2 new Mustang life preservers that are used mainly for dinghy trips.
  • The crack in face board above the bunk occurred in the 1990’s because of a water leak in the cockpit/deck seal. Since the cockpit was completely replaced in 1996, there has not been a problem.

For sleeping more comfortably on the two bunks (which have sitting-quality firm foam), there are mattress toppers covered in fleece and stored separately when not in use.


Table

The table is made of oak with a rigid center section and two drop-down sections.

Table, Main Cabin, Drop Position
  • When open to its full size, the table provides access to people sitting on both bunks.
  • China, cutlery and glasses are included in the sale.
  • There are also table covers, one with a non-slip backing.

Floor

Currently the floor is painted and throw rugs cover most of the area. The engineered wood that was installed in the kitchen has not yet been installed but is included with the boat.
