Let's take the tour moving from the aft cabin foward!

Aft Cabin / Aft Head / Nav Station (click images to enlarge)

The aft cabin has a double berth which is located on the port side of the boat under the cockpit. Just forward of the aft bunk is the nav stations with a full complement of electronics including a central charting computer which is fed all navigation; wind and depth information. The aft cabin also is the home of the main electrical panel. To the starboard side of the aft cabin is a full head with shower, toilet sink and tool storage. The Aft Cabin / Aft Head / Nav Station area can be closed off from the main area of the boat via a louvered door.

Moving foward from the aft cabin you enter into galley with the refrigeration box directly in front of you. The galley settee area is to port as you enter the galley. The galley settee seats six confortably and is out of the traffic flow for moving around the boat and can be comforably lit with either 12v or 110v lighting. Behind the galley settee to port is significant cupboard storage. Beneath the galley settee seats are the house batteries; the inverter/charger and the Spectra Watermaker. The galley has large cupboard and drawer storage; 3 burner stove/oven; dual sinks; tiled backstop; propane control center; refrigeration box (2 level); deep freeze box and large counter space over the refrigeration/freezer box.

A small "step-down" from the galley as you move forward takes you into JOSS' main salon. The main salon has two large settees one to port and one to starboard. There are large storage cupboards along both the port and starbord sides of the main salon above the settees. The main salon can is comforably lit by either overhead 12 volt lighting or built in 110v lamps.

Moving forward out of the main salon puts a louvered door to port which is the entrance to the foward head and another louvered door to forward which enters the foward cabin. The forward cabin its the main door for entering the cabin as well as separate door to the foward head. This allows the foward cabin to be "closed" off from the rest of the boat while still maintaining access to the forward head. The forward cabin consist of a double berth wide at the aft end and tapering towards the bow. It has a large over head hatch and two opening side ports for ventilation. Although not as large as the aft cabin, in very hot climates it is the more comfortable sleeping choice. The foward head is spacious with a full shower; toilet and sink area.
