The sun deck with a wet bar offers another great entertainment space.  The salon is decorated in a classic style with lots of wood accents and teak herringbone sole. With no built-in settees, this space allows for flexible seating arrangements. There is abundant, easily accessible storage throughout. Decorative touches, such as the lattice cabinets above the wine rack, add to the overall traditional feel of the salon. Teak ceiling grabrails provide safety while moving about when underway in adverse conditions.  The dinette is down and conveniently located across from the galley.
