Designed for self-sufficiency, strength, and comfort, she’s ideal for voyaging anywhere in the world.To port, a U-shaped settee surrounds a solid wood dining table that converts to a generous berth, ideal for guests or off-watch rest. Opposite is a practical galley with ample counter space and smart storage for extended cruising.Aft to starboard is a snug single berth beneath the cockpit with deep storage below. Forward of the pilothouse, a private portside cabin is paired with a dedicated nav station opposite, perfect for planning long passages.A diesel heater with a dedicated tank keeps the interior warm in high latitudes, and a small settee to port offers a cozy retreat. The spacious wet head to starboard is well laid out and easy to clean. The forward cabin includes a large centerline berth, full-sized lockers, and abundant storage.Engine access is exceptional, the removable cabin sole allows full 360-degree access for maintenance.
