Master head to port with Vacuflush toilet. Stall shower is a separate compartment on the stbd side.

There are storage locations in the large cockpit lazarette, in the FB seat lockers and in the forward deck locker for fenders, cleaning supplies, a dinghy, an outboard motor, power cables, dock lines, and more. The engine room, with over five-feet of headroom, has ample space for the generator, refrigeration compressors, and air conditioning equipment. The engine room is large and well thought-out. Engines are twin turbocharged Cat diesels delivering cruising speeds from 8 to 14+ knots with top speeds to 18 knots.
