Main Deck
The boat is entered by either side door, port or
starboard. These doors are fitted with strong deadbolt
locks, and in addition have stainless catches affixed to
the cabin sides to hold them open; these “hold-open
catches“ should be engaged manually, not just by
“slamming the doors open“ to avoid damage to the
catches by bending, or the doors by banging. The
doors should be closed when underway except at very
low speeds in calm waters to avoid getting salt water
inside the doorways. The starboard and port door steps
have storage beneath for shore power cord adapters,
flashlights, fire extinguishers, etc.
Salon:
Forward of the starboard door is a professional-
quality helm station with electric switch panels adjacent
and electronics panel above holding the inverter control,
the stereo, autopilot control, alarm and windshield wiper
switch panel, and the speed log and depth sounder; on
the helm itself are the ship’s radar, a depth sounder and
GPS/plotter. In the helm cabinet is storage for manuals,
tide tables, navigation tools, and charts. There are two
portable, high, chairs that double as helm seats when
operating from this station.
Just aft of the starboard door is a dry bar with
Starboard aft in the salon is a comfy L-settee and dining table.
The dry bar is in the left foreground, stateroom entry on right.
Forward of the dry bar is the starboard door and lower helm. The
hull centerline access to the forward guest quarters is to left.
