The galley provides a Flavel Vanessa cooker (2 burner, grill and oven), refrigerated ice box, sink unit (with pressurised hot, from a calorifier and immersion heater, and cold water), cupboards and worktops. Forward of this there is a settee berth to either side, both with shelves and lockers beneath and behind, and a central fold-down table.

Remarks

A very nice example of these sought after craft, this one has been regularly sailed across to the continent. We understand the boat has been the subject of an ongoing program of refurbishment, such work including: hull was refurbished to showroom condition in 1991 by Boating Scene; the main saloon was carpeted in 1992; headlining professionally replaced in 1993 and internal woodwork and work surfaces were extensively refurbished by a professional boat builder. The toilet was replaced in 1993, as also was the running rigging. The cockpit seating area has been finished in slatted hardwood and a teak grating was fitted in 1992.
