Vessel Walk Through
The vessel can be boarded from either side or from the swim platform aft when lowered. The swim ladder deploys when the platform is lowered for easy access from the water. The twin helm stations in the cockpit open up this space and allow for easy fore and aft movement while under sail or going down below to the cabin. Upon descending the stairs into the cabin, the head is conveniently placed to starboard, and aft of it is a separate washroom/shower space. Located portside aft is one of the two cabins found on S/V Evermoor and features a large berth with a hanging closet. Forward of the head, along the starboard side of the salon is the galley with an abundance of counter space complete with an LP cooktop/oven, stainless steel sink basin, refrigerator, and microwave. Opposite the galley is the salon. The nav station is aft of it, closely located to the companionway leading to the cockpit.
