This boat has a 6' 2" height within the pilot house. There is a nice head with shower (optional), an ice box, sink and stove on the port side, with berthing for two inside. The starboard side forward of the head has a nice cabinet with shelves, then a swiveling spring adjusted pilot seat facing forward here a dashboard console has whatever instruments one may want to have displayed. To the right are engine controls and gauges. In the center of the console is the hydraulic steering wheel. Below and forward of the Captain's chair is a dining table with seating athwartship. The two seats are adjacent to the vee-berths and each seat can extend the sleeping area by moving the seat-back into the leg area, so that the actual length of the sleeping berths are extended to about 8 1/2'! Above the vee-berth is an opening screened hatch, and under the vee berths are additional storage as well as forward of the berths. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Power is either a Yanmar diesel 9 HP or 18 HP engine or a
Vetus (Mitsubishi) 22HP engine. The 9 will provide 7.6 knots, the 18 should provide
11 knots and the 22 will provide about 14 knots. Steering is hydraulic ram, but there is
also a tiller for steering when sailing. Options include refrigeration, pressure water
system and hot water with a shower, a marine head, choice of stoves, and many other amenities.

| Sailwise, the main sail is cut down to about 260 square
feet. There is a centerboard under the large centerboard trunk which is also a large
folding table, if a smaller than normal centerboard is desired, this can be accomplished
to make more walk-around room within the cabin, but some tracking performance will be
lost. Speeds under sail should be about 7 knots on the beam and somewhat less on the
quarter and closehauled. The boat has a zippered rear hatch with
vinyl window and screen (optional), with a sliding |

| If configured as a trawler, there would be no bow plank of course, and obviously, no spars or sails.The length overall would be 25' 5". The boat would have no centerboard or centerboard trunk/table. This boat is meant to be a pleasant sailor, as maintenance free as is possible, easily trailerable, and as nice a performing boat under power as you can imagine. With a 16" draft (2" at the bow) one can easily beach it, and gunkholing will never be better.
