The second guest cabin to port has upper and lower bunks, a hanging locker, and a desk with a stool, overhead hatch.

From the cabin, there is also a private stairway up aft to the salon.

The Kubola hot water furnace provides on demand hot water and heat throughout the yacht. This is a five zone system (set up to add two more zones if desired) with ITR controls and a thermostat in each zone. It was installed new in 2010.

Deck and Hull

The aft deck is fully enclosed for year-round comfort. Wide covered side decks are perfectly suited for PNW cruising. There is a teak and stainless ladder up to the command bridge and boat deck.

The teak decks are screwed with stainless fasteners into plywood, which is embedded into a fibreglass deck. There is no evidence of leaks, nor has there ever been. The upper decks are molded non-skid.

In 2010, the owner decided to have the bottom completely stripped to remove many years of bottom paint build up. Even though there were no blisters, they prudently decided to have an epoxy barrier coat applied at the same time.
