NOW step inside... *The main door plus a foldback open wide providing easy access between the bridge-deck saloon and the cockpit. *Big windows (some opening) all around make this a bright, light and well-ventilated space. *The dinette is adjacent to the L-shaped galley. *The navigation station faces aft with good access to the helm. Step down port and starboard to the amazing sleeping quarters... *Four private cabins each with an en-suite (island doubles in the forward cabins and east-west doubles aft).
