Here are some additional photos of this fine craft. Notice the quality woodwork and the careful choice of fittings.


Some fine work in the cockpit. It's self-bailing. Nice mahogany panel doors.


The doors, sink, and stove from inside. The latching system for the doors is a clever bit of hardware built by the owner.


And here's the starboard galley cabinet. It looks like the owner has stuffed some boat cushions and life jackets in there. Handy.


Turning around, we see the matching doors into the forecabin. Note the large sliding hatch above the doors. The hatch slides into a turtleback on the top of the forecabin. Very nice feature. The central panel on the windscreen opens out for ventilation.


The forecabin doors fold open and latch back against the bulkhead. The companionway is easy to negotiate with the large hatch and doors.


Now we're down in the cabin interior with the cushions removed to show off the woodwork. The Porta-Potti is under the locker lid nearest the photographer: it is not under the berth proper. No need to rouse the other sleeper.


And here it is with the cushions. Nice match by Churchill Bros. on the cushion stripes. The trapezoidally shaped cushion in the center of the berth is a removable filler to make the V-berths into a double.


Same shot from a lower angle. I think this shows off the considerable headroom, open feeling, and brightness of the cabin interior. It also lets you see a little more of the finish quality, which is high throughout.


Stepping down into the forecabin and turning around, we see the handy counter and cabinet with teak louvered door and the box covering the electrical and helm hardware. The owner has installed a nice breaker panel.
