netting forward. The main hull is flush to the cockpit aft of amidships,
followed by an aft cabin accessed via a companionway in the cockpit.
The cockpit is enclosed by a deckhouse with large ports and open sides
with canvas and vinyl side curtains. In the cockpit there is pedestal
wheel steering forward, and locker stowage to port and starboard. A
S.S. bow pulpit and S.S. rails with vinyl-coated S.S. wire surround
the decks. Cargo boxes are mounted to port and starboard on the amas,
and there are hatches accessing stowage in each ama.

In the bow of the main hull there is a storage locker. Moving aft through
the hull, there is a Vee berth with stowage and tankage under and a
hatch in the overhead. An athwartships head compartment follows with
a toilet to port with chain locker stowage under, and a vanity with
sink opposite to starboard. The salon lies amidships with a straight
settee to port, a pilot berth outboard, and followed by the galley.
Opposite to starboard there is a straight settee with pilot berth outboard,
followed by sinks and drawer stowage with a counter over, and steps
leading up and aft to the enclosed cockpit. Aft from the cockpit is
the aft cabin, with a double berth aft, a vanity sink forward to starboard,
and drawer stowage. Access to the engine is by way of lift-out panels
