Yet the interior is spacious, light, and airy with every feature oriented towards safety, comfort, and efficient operation. C onsider the cockpit as an example. Winches fall ready at hand and are at waist level. The helmsman has a separate seat directly behind the wheel, or he can stand on either side. Being on the same level as the deck, the cockpit seats are ideal for lounging, yet the cockpit is compact for safety.
Side decks are wide and protected by a bulwark all around.
The bowsprit makes anchoring and mooring a pleasure. There's room to carry a 10' dinghy as well. B erths are provided for four or five couples, and the toilet rooms are strategically located so that no crew member needs to intrude on another's privacy to reach one of them. There are two heads, two showers, three lavatories, three hanging lockers, an oilskin locker, a superb navigators station aft, and an efficient U- shaped galley with every convenience. Dining is possible for a large group, and a fireplace-heater centrally located will take the chill off when needed.
