The yacht is a three cabin yacht, the two aft cabins share a day head/bathroom to port of the companionway.  The saloon enjoys full width and plenty of seating.  Full forward the master cabin has a generous en suite c/w electric head and separate shower.  The galley has generous refrigeration, no more gas cooker but plenty of amps spare for the air fryer and induction cooker.

The forward facing nav station is a good size and nav aids perfect for the job.  For excellent communications, there is a Marine Starlink device set up in the port aft cabin giving such high speed internet access anywhere.  This facility has allowed the owner to enjoy Netflix on the Samsung Smart TV with soundbar on the go !
