Accommodation

Saloon

The saloon offers two sofa seating areas, which can also be used as berths. There is storage for the seating as well as behind the back desk and a little drink bar. The galley is port aft of the saloon with hot and cold water and a gas burner with a grill. The chart table is on the starboard aft side, with plenty of storage and access to the water strainer. The forward berth is a V configuration with an infill. On the port side, between the saloon and the forward beth, there is a hanging area for clothes, as well as on the starboard side, a sea toilet with a fold-down wash basin. Folding the doors across the saloon entrance and forward berth allows you to shut off the head.

Engines

The engine was replaced in April 2021 with a new 13-HP Volvo Penta D1 diesel engine. The engine has done 180 hours and was serviced in October 2022. This is a significant upgrade to the boat.
