Main Cabin:
Galley:
This galley would be the envy of many a much larger boat. 8' long, with a large 'L' shaped worksurface, it enjoys over 6' headroom throughout. Double sink, 2 burner cooker with oven and grill and a family sized coolbox are standard, plus a generous selection of deep storage lockers. Situated in the port hull, the galley is not a passageway to another part of the boat, yet open plan layout allows the cook to be fully involved in any social activities in the saloon. Large eye level windows provide an ever changing view which makes even normally tedious chores a pleasure.
Options:
Refrigerator
Opening portlight
Pressurised hot and cold water system
Extra large (tropical) coolbox
Galley
Saloon:
As the cockpit and saloon are on the same level, access between the two areas is always quick and easy. Excellent all round visibility allows safe watchkeeping in comfort in any weather. With no heeling and luxurious seating for six the saloon offers a reliable haven for adult relaxation or childrens play, even at sea. There is useful extra storage space below the seating, fitted glasses locker, bookshelf etc. and the table can be lowered to form a 'Queen' sized double bed when required.
Options:
U-Shaped seating with removable table (inset)
Chart Table:
The navigation area always impresses. More than half Admiralty chart-sized, the fold-down table has generous chart storage space inside. Adjacent lockers and storage space keep navigational instruments close to hand and positioning of extra instruments is carefully arranged to optimise the efficiency of the navigator. The concealed red/white flexible light above the table provides excellent chart illumination without glare and without destroying the navigator's night vision.
Options:
VHF
GPS
etc.etc.
Stoopthroughs:
Available only with single engine options, the stoopthroughs (approx 5' headroom) give below deck access to the aft cabins from the saloon area as an alternative to crossing the cockpit. Extra hanging locker space is included. Alternatively, these cavernous hull rooms can be used for storage, of particular value on long passages.
Stoopthroughs
Heads:
With full standing headroom the spacious heads compartment is as easy to use at sea as in harbour, even when tacking!.
Options:
Shower
Solarvent
Holding tank
Centre Cockpit:
This arrangement makes equal sense for circumnavigators as for family sailors. All halyards, sheets etc can be handled without leaving the security of the self draining cockpit (one of the reasons for the 'Heavenly Twins' popularity with single or short handed sailors) and the crew enjoy immense actual and psychological security in heavy weather from being tucked in the centre of the boat rather than perched on the back.
Options:
Sprayhood
Cockpit cover
Bimini
Autopilot
Windspeed/direction monitor
etc.etc.
Engine(s):
Outboard - very reliable, economical 4 stroke outboard is mounted in a cockpit well, safe from swamping and cavitation. Raises clearof the water for sailing. The moulded removable cover doubles as a high seat or cockpit table. Stoopthroughs are possible with this option.
Twin Inboard Diesels - Mounted in the hulls, beneath the cockpit, giving exceptional manoeuvrability and the reliability of two totally separate engine installations. Stoopthroughs are not possible with this option.
In manta catamarans central Diesel/Twin hydraulic drives - Provides the same power and manoeuvrability as twin diesels but frees the internal engine rooms for stoopthroughs or internal storage. The neat cover can be removed to provide excellent access to the engine afforded by this oftion.
