This little yacht has sleeping accommodations for six – two in the Master Stateroom on an island double, two at the Convertible Dinette in the Salon, and two in the Forward V-Berth.

The portside U-Shaped dinette easily seats four to a large table. The table lowers down to fiddles to make a convertible berth with the filler foam stored under the L-Shaped settee. There is a Teak and Holly sole and the entire Salon/Galley area is finished in warm cherry wood. The window coverings are white wooden blinds with valence materials matching the settee throw pillows.
