The Interior

One of the first things we did with the boat was to completely redo the interior. We replaced the headliner throughout, adding zippers in strategic locations to make maintenance and upgrades easier. We did new upholstery, new drapes (new windows and ports too) a new mattress in the bunk, carpet in the "hallway", and of course revarnished the interior. We also added some touches like varnished mahogany trim rings around all the hatches.

Here's what is looks like looking aft from the salon towards the companionway. On the left you see the GPS and Radar. These are mounted on swing arms so that they can be viewed either from the navigator's station or from the cockpit. Here's a better view of the nav station:

In this picture you can see the navigator's desk. Right above the desk is the stereo (the CD changer is under the desk) and VHF radio. The black "plate" folded up against the desk is a mount for a laptop computer which is integrated into the GPS. Under the GPS and radar units are the breaker panels (all new) and the control for the Heart Interface inverter and charge controller. Note that there's room also for a SSB radio or repeater instruments above the nav table on the right side.

In this picture we're looking aft towards the "hallway" with the master berth. The door closed at the end is the head. You can see on the right side our fireplace. It actually takes fuel pellets and warms the cabin nicely (I admit we've not used it in Florida).

Here's a view of the berth. It's on the port side with your head resting towards the centerline of the boat). Note the stainless steel port-we replaced all the ports. The doors close for privacy if you want. Under the berth are drawers for as well as a cedar lined cabinet.

Here's the bookcase we added at the forward end of the berth.

On the starboard side of the hallway are two hanging cabinets, and a set of drawers for storage (we're looking aft in this picture). The aft most cabinet has been modified to hold the air conditioner/heater and a couple of shelves (I keep my toolbox here). The little white box you see is the air conditioner thermostat. A really neat feature is that the second drawer is actually a makeup mirror/jewelry box-a feature my wife really likes.

Here's a picture of the head which is located in the forepeak. The door straight ahead leads to the anchor locker. On the right side, to the left of the sink is the dirty clothes hamper. The actual toilet is on the left side. The little bench my wife likes to sit on when she takes a shower.
