1B2: Main Deck
Salon
The boat is entered by any of three doors.
Port and starboard side doors are on the pilothouse (they should be closed when underway except at very low speeds in
calm waters to avoid getting salt water inside the doorways). The main entry access is the large door at the aft end of the
salon, which opens onto the cockpit level; with its window and especially when open, it makes the salon a bright, airy
and pleasant place.
From the cockpit door you are in the beautiful salon. To port an L-settee seats up to four; it has a cocktail/dining table in
front. The table can be easily opened and expanded to make it more spacious for dining as in the photos.
Across from this settee are two chairs with a storage cabinet between that also holds the flat-screen TV and electronic
entertainment equipment.
Although the furnishings here appear entirely for comfort, there are important utilitarian features. Under both ends of
the settee are drawers for storage, and under the central part of the settee’s “L” is the air conditioning air handler for the
salon.
