Interior Layout:

The cabin layout is typical Aage Nielson, well designed for sailing and exquisite in workmanship.   The engine being housed under the bridge deck, doesn't encroach into the Gallery which occupys the full width of the hull under the doghouse, the sink, stove and extensive storage on the port side with a large 24V cold plate refrigerator on the starboard side. The large navigational table is located on the starboard side within talking distance of the helm. Forward, the main cabin has comfortable settees on both sides of a drop-leaf table. These settees pull out making into sleeping berths with storage underneath and behind them. There are also pilot berths on both sides of the main cabin, behind the settees allowing for sleeping of four people in the main cabin. Beyond the main salon, there is an enclosed head to port, lockers and storage to starboard and the owner's stateroom which sleeps two.  The fo'c's'le is set up for a paid hand with access by a companionway hatch and a vertical ladder.
