ACCOMMODATION
The accommodations are set up for three couples and two crew. The owner’s cabin is full width amidships with two entries. It has an ensuite bathroom to port, an entry-vestibule to starboard. It has Marantz hi-fi audio (with iPod docking station) and video equipment and a Sony LCD flat screen. In the vestibule there is a wine chiller to port, and pantry storage to starboard. The forward cabin has a centre-line double berth with ensuite. The third forward cabin has over-and-under single bunks and an ensuite head and hand basin. There is a separate entrance to the forward cabin shower. The crew cabin is aft and has an adjoining shower and head. All bathrooms have heated towel rails.
Crew Cabin
Every cabin has an ensuite or adjoining toilet – all on the lower deck. There is also a centrally located day head on the main deck. It has both exterior and entrance doors which provide convenience for entertaining, swimmers and visiting tradesmen.
The saloon is properly sized to lounge four to eight people without either feeling too far apart or too close. An ingeniously designed convertible coffee/dining table is on the port side. Marantz hi-fi audio and video equipment is located to port and a LG screen is concealed below counter to starboard. Lower the Oceanaire electric blinds to blackout the room and you have a well-found shipboard theatre. Electric opening windows aft and in the adjoining galley allow natural ventilation, and when the weather requires that they are closed a forced ventilation system brings either outside (or air-conditioned) air to the interior. There are also electric sun-control blinds. To starboard, handy to the aft deck, is a drinks fridge with icemaker.
The galley is a chef’s seagoing delight and is located at the centre of gyration of the vessel. At sea, gourmet meals can be prepared, even in heavy going.

Galley
The galley has the finest appliances and accoutrements available: Liebher refrigeration, U-Line refrigerated drawers, Miele full cook top (gas) and oven (electric), Miele microwave, trash compactor, Miele dishwasher and Haefele cabinet wire basket storage units and proper ventilation. There is a Breville espresso machine with built-in bean grinder; pans are Fissler and Scanpan, and glassware Bormioli.
The central location of the galley provides easy delivery aft to the saloon and forward to the pilothouse. A unique feature is a moving screen in the aft galley counter that can be raised and lowered to provide privacy to the saloon. There is a chest-freezer in the lazarette, and a cabinet freezer on the boat deck providing ample cold storage capacity for extended voyaging.
