Entering the boat via the stern doors leads into a comfortable wood panelled cabin.

There is also wardrobe space and a fitted 240V Candy 3.5kg front loading washing machine.

Midships Convertible Cabin/Dining Area 

Port and starboard bench seats providing twin single berths with underneath storage are situated either side of a central walkway.  A free-standing collapsible dining table stows neatly under the gunnel opposite the hot water cupboard just aft of the bench seats.

Galley

The walkthrough galley has a thoughtfully designed food preparation area with a sink, 12V Shoreline fridge with freezer compartment, high mounted 240V microwave oven, a Vannette integral gas oven/grill with a matching surface mounted 4 burner gas hob.  Opposite the food preparation area are additional cupboards and drawers.

Behind the access steps forward to the bow well deck are entry doors to a large storage area.
