Flybridge:
Above the saloon via the inside
staircase steps from the pilothouse is the
large flying bridge. At the aft end a windlass
on the boat’s davit above the dinghy deck
area allows the boom and line to lift the 12-
foot A-B RIB tender with a 40-horsepower
Tohatsu electric-start outboard.
Forward of the boat deck the flybridge
has a stainless barbecue and an L-settee to
starboard of the mast with under-seat storage
(including a fire extinguisher). In the settee’s
forward compartment are the dual propane
tanks for operation of the stove and barbecue.
Fully forward on the flybridge is the helm structure, with substantial room for engine
controls and instruments plus the ship's full complement of electronics. To port forward on the
flybridge a half-door with sliding hatch above accesses the pilothouse stairway. The door and
hatch are secured both open and closed by sturdy hardware.
A Bimini top covers the flybridge seating area making it a wonderful, shaded area; of
course, the top can be lowered when
weather permits.
