retracted into the bow pulpit which hangs out over the bow to give better
chain clearance from the hull than otherwise possible. The pulpit is strong
and braced, easily supporting not only the anchor during hauling but also an
attending crew member if necessary. After passing over the winch, the
chain goes below decks via a hawse pipe in the foredeck.
There are shore power connections (with an adjacent fuse holder) at
both the bow and stern, selected by the shore power switch in the electric
panel; when this cable is to be disconnected, the switch should first be
turned to the “off” position to avoid arcing which
could damage the plug contacts. The boat’s 30-
amp shore power cable is 50 feet long and
stays
with the boat
when away from its home dock, as
does its 50-amp cable when in use. (See "AC
Systems" below for shore power requirements.)
There are two large caps at each location. One is a
50-amp receptacle for the shore power cabler,
while the other conceals a circuit breaker for that
connection. See AC Systems below.
There is
a deck
box on
the bow
to store
lines, the windlass emergency handle, anchor chain
bridle, etc. It is also a seat for crew on the bow.
The deck up three steps above the aft side
decks is the “sun deck”. Here you will find the
dinghy davit and dinghy.
Up three steps from the sun deck is the
flybridge, with seating
for crew and
passengers, and the
upper helm station. In
addition to the helm’s
instruments and
controls, the console
has storage for the
ship’s canvas covers,
and a space for
flybridge electronics.
Within the storage
compartments beneath
the seats you will find a
complement of life
jackets and room for
Bow deck box/seat open.
Here is the dinghy and davit on the sundeck with the dinghy cover
set aside. Note steps to flybridge. Salon door is to left of steps.
Flybridge looking forward. Crew seat to left, coffee table and
corner of L-settee to right.
There is an L-settee aft to starboard on the flybridge.
