She is comfortably appointed with sleeping for four, an enclosed electric toilet with a hot & cold shower and a galley with stove, sink and icebox, The central teak saloon table is ideal for meals or entertaining. The cockpit can be fully enclosed with custom canvas covers to enlarge the living area for comfortable overnight stays at your favourite anchoages.
