The rudder is a spade type in a pivoting stock. When beaching or approaching the launching ramp the control line is released and the rudder and stock pivot back to reduce the draft. This configuration also has the advantage that if the rudder strikes the bottom hard the control line will slip through the modified cleat and allow the rudder to pivot aft. Galley and ice box are just forward of the main bulkhead. The space under the cockpit can be used as a large single berth or stowage space.
Stowage is provided under all bunks and settees with bins above the port settee.
