monitor and stereo is on the port side of the salon with two armchairs. The port side main
cabin door opens forward of the entertainment center.
The master stateroom is aft of the salon,
down four steps from the main cabin. A
walk-around queen size bed is
surrounded with counters, cabinets, and
a hanging locker for storage. Drawers for
charts and storage are built in under the
bed. To the port side of the bed is a
companionway that leads to the aft deck.
This can be used for access or emergency
egress, and for fresh air ventilation when
anchored or tied to a dock. A stainless-
steel knob is on the front of the portside
nightstand, this is the locking mechanism
for the lazarette locker that can be used
to secure the lazarette hatch, if needed.
A fire extinguisher is mounted under the countertop of the portside cabinets.
The master stateroom has a separate
shower on the starboard side and
head on the port side. Gray water
from the shower drains to a sump
under the teak grate and is pumped
overboard. The pull-switch for the
pump is on the starboard wall of the
shower, in the aft corner; it is hidden
behind the shower curtain and under a
ledge. The ‘Drain Pump’ breaker
switch on the 12-volt DC panel must
also be turned on.
The master head has a vanity basin, cabinets, and a MasterFlush electric marine toilet. A
monitor for the holding tank is next to the toilet-flush controls. This monitor indicates when the
tank is empty, low, mid, and full. When the
monitor
indicates ‘Full,’ it is time to find a
pump-out station. With four guests this will
need to be done every two or three days.
There are several pump-out stations in the

Friday Harbor, Doe Bay, Rosario Resort, and
Reid Harbor on Stuart Island. Plan to pump
