Next aft are two settee/berths with storage below both and updated bright 4" berth cushions and outboard cushions. Next aft to port is the galley counter with a 1-burner alcohol stove, stainless steel sink with a cold water faucet. On aft port bulkhead are shelves. In the starboard aft cabin are the VHF and a storage area aft of the berth. The bulkheads are painted white and the trim, lockers, and sole are varnished teak. Four port lights and the opening hatch give nice natural light and ventilation throughout. A very attractive cabin.

Up into the cockpit is varnished teak seating for several. Tiller steering and aft on the stern deck is the custom-built bronze and teak gallows frame for the boom. On the starboard cabintop are a handrail, a winch for the main halyard and jam cleats for the main and jib halyards and sheets. On the port cabintop is the handrail and a dorade for cabin ventilation.

On the foredeck are the centerline bit, traveler for the self-tending staysail, and chocks port and starboard.
