Accommodation

The accommodation consists of a forward cabin with storage space. A "Porta-potti" chemical toilet is placed centrally.

At the forward starboard end of the main saloon is a small galley area with a 2 burner and grill Aquamarine Neptune 4500 gas stove on gimbles. Sadly the upholstery cushions were not fit for purpose but their covers have been retained as templates for replacements. There is a bilge pump attached to the keel box.
