Interior Accommodations
The boat is entered by the aft swing door. A drop down window on the
port side allows for an airy open atmosphere.
The bifold entry door should be secure either by keeping the door all the
way open or latched closed before getting underway.
Main Salon
The main salon is a raised, U-shaped settee with a fixed table that
comfortably seats four adults. The forward end of the settee converts
into a forward facing “mate’s seat”. The captain’s chair is an adjustable
STIDD helm seat. Aft of the helm on
the starboard side is the long cabinet
housing the Stereo, TV and extensive
storage.
The helm seat offers a 180-degree
commanding view of the boat’s bow and
sides for easy operation in inclement
weather; visibility aft allows the skipper
to see when backing.
Built into the helm itself is a display
for the Garmin chart plotter, radar and
sonar; a Garmin depth sounder; and a
Garmin auto pilot. To right of the helm are the trim tab controls, the twin
Volvo Penta engine
control and the “joystick”
for the docking function.
On the left end of the helm
is the Volvo Penta engine
monitoring panel.
Above the controls at the
helm a panel holds from
left to right, a horn switch,
engine blowers, navigation/
anchor lights, accessory
switch, wash for windshield,
port/mid/helm windshield
wipers, forward/mid/aft
bilge auto and manual
switches On the forward
port side of the helm
beneath the windshields is
the compass.
To the right of the helm is the VHF radio and speaker.
Across from the helm on the starboard side is the “mates” bench. It is
converted from the salon settee to a forward facing bench.
