Interior Arrangements
Master Cabin
The cosy master cabin features a fixed double berth with easily accessible storage beneath, which also houses the domestic batteries and calorifier tank. Additional storage is provided beneath the steps leading onto the stern deck, where the cabin bilge pump is also neatly located if ever required. A useful cupboard offers further space for boating equipment.
Bathroom
The walkthrough bathroom is well appointed and features a bath with shower, a ceramic hand basin set within a vanity unit, and a large bespoke mirror which enhances the sense of space. A Porta Potti toilet, complete with its own dedicated flush water tank filler, is neatly integrated into the design. Clever cabinetry doubles as a privacy door, creating a practical layout that makes excellent use of the available space.
Utility Room
A standout feature of Weyward Lass is the midships walkthrough utility and storage area. This versatile space offers generous wardrobes and shelving, together with a 240V fridge. Provision has also been made for a washing machine, with plumbing and waste outlet already installed should the new owner wish to fit one.
Galley
The galley is thoughtfully designed and exceptionally well equipped, featuring a ceramic Butler-style sink with stainless-steel taps and an impressive Heritage Range cooker with two hobs and two ovens. This room-sealed unit operates from its own dedicated domestic diesel tank and supplies both hot water and central heating via radiators throughout the boat. Ample drawers and cupboards provide excellent storage for kitchen essentials, while a starboard-side hatch floods the area with natural light and ventilation, creating an enjoyable and practical cooking environment.
Saloon
The forward saloon benefits from an open-plan layout, allowing the new owner to furnish the space to their own taste. It is currently arranged with two armchairs and matching footstools, while a sofa bed could easily be added to provide two additional berths when required. A multifuel stove set on a tiled hearth offers supplementary warmth during the colder months, making the boat ideal for year-round cruising and residential use. Opposite is a built-in storage unit with integrated bookshelves. A cleverly designed sliding dining table maximises the available living space, the footstools double as dining seats, allowing up to four people to dine comfortably. Built-in shelving also serves as a TV stand and accommodates a 32-inch television. Two additional side hatches ensure the saloon remains bright, airy, and well ventilated. Beyond, the spacious tug deck provides a wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by, while also serving as a practical workbench and storage area for winter fuel and equipment.
