The forward cabin is a spacious V-berth with its own head, including toilet, basin, and shower. There is also ample storage with a hanging locker and drawers. An escape hatch is over the berth.

Aft of the forward cabin is the salon with two bench seats and gull-wing table between. Upholstery is a lovely dark blue. This area can easily seat six friends for dinner. There is a Dickenson propane heater, cupboards and shelves for storage, fan, music, and a lot of bright light.

Aft of this, to starboard, is a large navigation table with front-loading fridge beneath.

To port of that is the galley. There is a centreline double sink, in-counter storage, and a 2-burner stove/oven. Storage is along the hull and below the sink.

Aft of the galley is a door to the aft cabin. The double berth wraps around forward to create a changing seat. There is storage in cupboards and a shelf.

Opposite that, aft of the nav table, is a door to the aft head. This is the larger of the two heads, with shower, basin, and manual-flush toilet. It has an opening porthole as well as overhead hatch.

Between the head and aft cabin is the companionway, with the engine underneath. Engine access is excellent.

On deck, the cockpit is very welcoming with a dodger, bimini, teak seats long enough to sleep on, gull-wing table, pedestal steering, and an enviable sugar-scoop transom with easy access to the water.

The decks are wide with inboard rod shrouds. There is a radar mast, BBQ, and rod holder on the transom. There are mast pulpits for safety, and a manual windlass.

Below the water is a fin keel and spade rudder.

The hull is bright white with navy canvas. The overall appearance of the boat is sleek and clean.
