The nav station (at the starboard aft corner of the salon)  has a very secure pivoting navigators chair with plenty of room for all controls and electronics. Next aft to starboard is the head with two entrances. One entrance allows for private entry from the aft stateroom and the other from the main salon. The aft stateroom has a huge berth with plenty of storage.  There are several  opening ports and several ports for great light and ventilation.

The L-shaped galley is aft to starboard deep double S.S. centerline sinks, gimbaled 3 burner propane stove with oven, a huge refrigerator with freezer, roll out galley storage bin and lots of counter space. There is lots of storage throughout the boat.  She has hot and cold pressure water and a manual water system.
