To starboard is the well set up galley. This is equipped with a 2 burner portable stove, sink with fresh water, icebox, and plenty of storage. The accommodation is ideal for weekend cruising with family and friends. There is a double v-berth forward, two quarter berths aft, and the dinette converts to a berth in the saloon when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with a manual marine toilet with storage opposite.
