At the rear of the saloon and starboard of centre are solid teak stairs which give access to the aft deck through teak doors and a sliding hatch. To starboard of these stairs are stairs down which bring you into the master stateroom suite, passing through the fourth bulk head in the boat.

Immediately to starboard is a hanging locker with teak louvered doors.

next going aft of the locker is a three door cabinet painted white with a teak top and fiddles which matches the cabinet to port.

Against the stern of the hull is the upholstered headboard of a ?real queen-sized bed? and matching built in bed side cabinets with teak louvered doors providing more storage. Under the bed is easy access to the hydraulic steering piston and the hydraulic oil filter. Another section under stores several spare parts and various filters. And at the foot of the bed are two large teak drawers for yet more storage.

Lighting is provided with bed side halogen reading lamps and four halogen pot lights in the ceiling. There is also five opening ports with screens as well as an over the bed, opening skylight framed in teak with opening screen.

Opposite the bed is a large five drawer dresser which is recessed into the bulk head shared by the galley up and the engine room. When the draws are removed and a hatch lifted, there is access to the propeller shaft seal. The dresser is finished in while paint and solid brass handles.

Inside the master stateroom, to port, is the second powder room complete with vanity, medicine cabinet and mirror and a second Vaccuflush Model 558, head and it sits on a non-skid porcelain tile floor. There is halogen lighting and a small opening skylight.

Immediately aft of the navigation table is a 6 cubit foot refrigerator which is cooled by a ?cold plate? with a 12 volt compressor in the engine room. This marks the beginning of the galley. All counters are green granite and are finished with solid teak fiddles in the galley and throughout the boat. The galley features a stainless steel Force Ten 2 burner stove and oven surrounded by stainless steel for easy cleaning.

To either side of the stove is 2 banks of drawers to handle cutlery, tools for cooking, pot and pans and extra food storage. Removal of one bank of drawers gives access to the port side fuel tank clean out.

The galley?s ?L? shape finishes off with a stainless steel sink, cabinet beneath and cabinets above which hold china, glasses and cups in custom fiddles. The faucet is a nickel plated solid brass. Removing one shelf/tray gains access to the second outside steering helm pump.

Over the six large windows in the saloon are valances which have halogen lighting and space for curtain rods. In the centre of the saloon port and starboard walls are mounted 2 wall sconces.

Lighting is also provided by a large double opening skylight, to catch any breeze at anchor. It has hinged screens of solid teak making a pleasant contrast with the white ceiling. The entire structure can be removed if it were necessary to lift the drive engine out of the boat.

Beneath the skylight directly in front of the sofa stands a fully adjustable (up and down and in and out) drop leaf table which can easily seat 4 comfortably and more when needed.

Electrical 120 volt and 12 volt:

Two reverse cycle heat and air units installed 3 years ago

Shore power first comes through an isolation transformer (therefore there is no physical connection to the hull from the shore power) then through a main electrical breaker to an automatic selector switch with the generator before going to the main electrical panel. Shore/generator power and inverter power have separate breaker panels. This vessel has a floating ground which means that there is no electrical connection to the hull anywhere.

The Heart inverter/charger (Freedom 25) has a remote panel in the saloon and besides able to charge at 120 amps maximum, controls the high out put alternator on the drive engine.

The battery bank is comprised of 6 deep cycle 6 volt batteries in a box well secured and vented overboard. It has a capacity of 680 amps. 12 power consumption per 24 hour period is approximately 115 amps.

All 12 volt circuits are fuse protected.

All 120 volt circuits are breaker protected. All 120 volt outlets are G.F.I. protected.

All switches for engine starting batteries, house bank and parallel switch between are located in the saloon near the helm.
