In the cabin, which has 4′ 6″ headroom, there is a quarter berth to either side and the galley is located forward, to port. This provides a 2-burner spirit stove, and has manually-pumped cold water. In the forepeak there are 2 single berths. The boat has electric lighting. Navigation equipment includes: compass, echosounder, NASA speed and distance log, VHF, wind-indicator and navigation lights.

She comes complete with a Danforth anchor plus chain and warp, mooring ropes, fenders and a road trailer (suitable for yard use only).
REMARKS: In need of some TLC, this vessel has been laid up due to lack of time for a season. She would appear to be free from structural defects and had a satisfactory insurance survey in 1999.
OUR OPINION: A nice – if a little basic – boat in need of someone with the time to bring her up to scratch.
