To port is the galley with a stainless steel sink, 2-burner gas hob with grill and a top loading icebox. The water tank is currently removed but the plumbing is still in place. One of the burners is non operational. If a new stove with oven was required this can be fitted as there is plenty of room to do so.
Opposite the galley is the chart table with chart area and storage. 12V switch panel with webasto heating controls. Aft of here is a comfortable quarter/pilot berth.

The saloon features well upholstered settee/berths finished in easy clean draylon./ Behind the port settee is the small occasional 5th berth which is more suited to a child. Behind the starboard settee berth is open storage units. There is a wooden saloon table with an extending leaf. This is currently removed.
Between the saloon and the forepeak is a heads compartment with Lavac sea toilet to starboard and a sink unit with mirrored storage unit to port. In the forepeak is a single berth on the starboard side. This allows easy access to the foredeck when racing and changing sails. There is a wooden privacy door to the forepeak area. This is currently removed.

12V lighting throughout. Webasto diesel fired heating.
