Photos of the interior, she has sat for four years without being sailed, so the interior reflects that.

Sink with pump that pumps from removable water jug below (not included) cupboard beyond for stowage. I built the door between salon and master bunk.

This area can be set up with booth seating and dinette table, we preferred it down as a lounging area, and it is where our children slept at night. Velcro strip on bulkhead held our Barometer.

Master bunk is comfortable for two, we never replaced the cushions due to the cost of new ones, but we did cover them with mexican blankets. We were not too fond of the 70's shag carpet on the bulkhead but removing it would be a great deal of work. The netted shelves held most of our personal gear. Some of the sails are on the bunk.

hatchway to small anchor rope locker is forward. Hatch was well used for ventilation. At night I could be out on deck in a matter of seconds for anchor watch, wind check or overboard needs. The porta potty location was directly under the heads of sleepers. We never used it, we prefer the WAG system. There is a fitted fabric shelter stowed here, which can be set up when the pop top is up, we never used it either. There are several stowage lockers under the berth, much more stowage than on modern trailer sailors, is one of the good features of this boat.

Aft end of salon with large battery and tool locker below, you can see the batter change switch.

starboard side, aft of salon, thermo electic igloo, there is a bunk suitable for a small non claustraphobic child. In the well is an auto matic bilge pump and a manual bilge pump also the winch for the swing keel. There is a step that hangs on the hooks, we took it out, it was just in the way, but it goes with the boat.

Galley area, we used a standard Coleman propane stove (not included)

salon view forward.with door. A quick story; while anchored off an island off Mexico after a great day paddling amongs the sea caves in a quiet cove on the lee side of an island. I felt the wind shift 180 degrees putting us on a lee shore, this was three AM. My wife and I came out of the hatch quickly, she banged her eye on the brass latch, we got under way into the teeth of the wind, and lost one of the kayaks. We sailed in the dark, around a point and found shelter again, dropped the hook. We got no help offered from the girls, we learned later that they were awake, but figured we could handle it. We did. The next day we sailed back around and found our kayak up on the rocks. Laurie had a great shiner. When we got to our next port, I got knowing looks from the men, I could hear them thinking, "Ah, there is a gringo who knows how to handle his woman......"
