Below deck, she features a welcoming saloon with twin settee berths, a functional galley, forward V-berth, quarter berth, and heads. Her masthead sloop rig combined with a dependable inboard diesel makes her an ideal choice for relaxed and capable coastal cruising. Serviced 2025Anode changed 2025Antifouled 2025
