Walkthrough:
Entrance into the salon from either port or starboard doors, you will find the salon to be light, open and welcoming. Just inside the port door aft is a large full standing refrigerator with a food prep counter and storage cabinets. Further aft is the master stateroom. A large L shaped settee with a folding teak table is on the starboard side of the salon. Forward of the settee is a microwave cabinet with storage, starboard door and the inside helm is just forward of the door. The Guest cabin is forward of the salon.
Salon:
The large salon has been painted white above the chair rail to provide a light and airy environment. The cabin sole is the classic teak parquet flooring. The headliner (insulated and replaced in 2014) is white with lights and a teak handhold the length of the salon for safety while underway. The galley is to port and the L shaped settee (new cushions 2014) with a large folding table is to starboard with the inside helm forward. Opening windows, large windshield, entry doors on both sides with screens provide a lot of natural light. All windows and doors have removable sun screens installed on the exterior. All the interior windows have custom shades that can either be pulled down or pulled up allowing privacy while maximizing the natural light.
