Going up one level from galley is the full-beam, enclosed, air conditioned and teak paneled aft deckhouse which serves as the main salon. Facing aft, there are two sliding doors, with screen door, that open out to a small aft deck area with teak cafe table, chairs and an awning. Inside, to port is a large, leather L-shaped sofa.
