There is storage under the cockpit sole and also under the berths. There is also a removable table (stows under the cockpit) which fits to starboard for dining/food preparation purposes. The boat has a fire extinguisher and fire blanket. Her décor is in very good condition, as also is her upholstery, which is in orange open weave material.

OUR OPINION: A well-presented vessel, ideal as a starter boat (and with space for the children).
