Vessel Fitout

A high standard of finish is maintained throughout the vessel. The decor is focussed on providing a neutral platform that provides an excellent basis for the owner to customise with their selection of soft furnishing fabrics and accessories. The interior design uses materials that are durable and low maintenance - cleaning is little more than a wipe over with a damp cloth.

Foam backed vinyl deck head liners are used throughout. Cabin walls structures are finished using either foam backed with detail areas finished in faired gel coat. The standard floor arrangement throught has wood grain patterned vinyl floor planks.

The cabin arrangement has an open and airey feel. Headroom is generous with 2050 mm (6' 6") in the saloon and 1850 mm (6' 1") in the hulls.

Master Cabin

The master cabin on the starboard side has a queen size bed with a custom mattress using layered foam cushioning. A generous hanging closet space forward with under drawer units provides clothes storage. Facing the bed, storage lockers further complement the storage space over the chamfer panel. The aft bulkhead turns aft on the outboard side creating an interesting extra space that is suitable for a small bookshelf and LCD TV mounting that angles towards the middle of the bed head. This space can alternatively be optioned with a cabin air conditioning unit if required.

An overhead hatch is strategically placed above the head end. It allows immediate access to the foredeck and presents a view of the sky above while lying down. The hatch is fitted with a sliding screen and day shade. An opening port light is fitted to the outside cabin topside. Two reading lights and a main cabin pelmet light provide illumination. The closet is fitted with a battery powered LED touch lamp. Two 12 volt cabin fans provides extra cooling for warmer still nights.

Guest Cabin

Head

Aft of the master cabin in the starboard hull is the shower and toilet. A basin is installed on a full length solid surface bench top with a facing mirror. Pressurised hot and cold water is on tap at the sink which has a pull out shower head that can be attached to the wall. The floor incorporates a shower pan which has a well for waste water to be pumped out with an electric pump. An electric salt water flushing toilet is at the aft end of the head compartment. The toilet pumps to an onboard holding tank that is fitted with both a deck pumpout and gravity drain.

A towel rack is fitted to the aft wall behind the toilet. An interior hanging line is fitted under the ceiling of the head area for drying hand wash items. Fresh towel storage is provided on a timber rack on the outboard fascia of the companionway between the master cabin and head. All inside corners of the head area are radioused for easy cleaning and the floor has a non skid finish.

Galley

In the port hull aft of the guest cabin is the galley. Facing inboard the galley is open to the saloon area above. The galley bench top is an L shape 2 metres long by 1.2 metres wide at the aft end. The solid surface bench top contains a three hob cook top and a sink. Ship stores and galley appliances are stored in cupboards at the back of the bench top (under the saloon port side settee). A refrigerator is located athwart ships under the aft bench top. Above the aft bench is a flush locker for a convection microwave oven. Along the length of the outboard section of the galley is a wall mounted storage unit for plates and other items that are relatively narrow. Ventilation of the galley area is by way of a port light on the outer hull side, an overhead hatch and cabin fan.

The vessel electrical system supplies 240 volt AC power that is sufficient to support a convection microwave oven and other kitchen appliances such as a bread maker or toaster . The AC power is sourced from an inverter that uses battery power instead of having to run a generator set. The cook top is powered by LPG while the refrigerator is solar/battery powered.

Helm

The helm features an elevated seating arrangement for two that provides a commanding view. Two hatches are strategically placed overhead to allow a standing position on the helm seat for an even better perspective of the surrounding area. Huge workspaces either side of the helm are perfect for charts or laptop. The vertical fascia on the starboard side of the helm area houses the main electrical switch panel and engineering instrumentation.

Additional ventilation is provided by two cabin fans and opening outer wind screens controlled by a motorised actuator. The inner two screens are fixed and each are fitted with pantographic arm windscreen wipers. The entire windscreen has a fresh water washer/flooding system for removal of salt buildup.

Vessel steering is electric with control provided by a steering joystick and autopilot followup control. (conventional wheel steering is optional). An electronic morse control unit controls engine power and gearbox. Standard electronic equipment includes a VHF radio, 12" colour multifunction display, GPS, radar, fish finder, autopilot and AIS. A rocker style switch panel controls "drive the boat" functions.

Saloon

The saloon area has a helm station forward with companion way stairs leading to the guest cabin and galley to port and the master cabin and head to starboard. A full length settee on the port side divides the saloon area from the galley below. A serving shelf above the settee back is accessable from both the galley and saloon. This feature gives an open feeling where a person in the galley can keep eye contact with the saloon and helm areas. An L shaped saloon seating area and table is located to starboard. A 1 metre wide companion way door is centrally located aft.

Overall the saloon area is large and airy. A fixed seating arrangement for nine people consists of three at the settee, four at the saloon table and two at the helm station. Six people can sit directly at the saloon table for meals by using two portable deck chairs.

Detail attention has been given to reducing heat buildup in the vessel. An overall objective is to avoid the need for air conditioning. Our sense is that most people want to be able to enjoy their anchor environment without having to close up the vessel and run a generator set to keep things cool. The forward glass has been angled more vertical and has a large overhanging brow to reduce the solar load. The side glass near vertical and is tinted.

Ventilation is provided by two hatches above the helm, opening outer front screens, port lights at the back of the side windows and opening aft windows. The port lights can generally be left open as they have substantial rain protection by the overhanging roof top. On either side of the companionway, glass that is protected by the aft deck roof can be left open while the boat is unattended. The boat enjoys flow through ventilation without fear of driving rain entering the interior. Two fans are individually placed either side of the helm.

Aft Deck

The aft deck has an area 2 metres long by 4.3 metres wide. The open plan style of the aft deck is designed to accomodate user provided "camping" furniture that can stow in the deck lockers. The clear deck design provides an ideal fishing platform with over 8 metres of linear space. Large lazarette floor lockers are provided on either side of the aft deck. Gates on either side provide entry to the boarding platforms which are 0.4 metres above waterline to allow easy access for dinghy boarding. The port platform has built in mounts for the swim ladder which normally stows under deck. An electric capstan winch is installed on top of the aft bulkhead to assist with mooring lines, fishing tackle and crab pots. The cabin roof is ideal for light weight dinghy stowage. Davits are optional.

A wide central companionway door joins the aft deck to the saloon. Either side of the door are frameles glass windows that hinge out and upward with the assistance of gas struts. The port side of the door has a 70 litre top opening fridge/freezer that is mounted under a solid surface bench top. The starboard side has a seat with ice box fitted under and an LPG storage locker. An optional 140 litre top load refrigerator with solid surface counter top is available.
