port side, the hull is beautifully kept and polished, and to help protect her the owners use a hanging canvas, Note stainless window frames..
when you order a blue hull at Broom they include in the price an upgrade to Chromed bronze skin fittings in place of the usual nylon.
the stainless windows make a huge diffrence to her look, both inside and out. When we say "Stainless windows"... on a Broom the WHOLE frame construction is in S/S not just external covers.. hence outragous price of around £19,000 to have them!! ( it includes. door and top frame as well..)
forward, electric windlass with deck and helm controls, note bollard takes strain off windlass when at anchor
external screen covers have helped reduce sun fade in side the boat.

all Brooms have an engine removal deck hatch... not what you want to think about.. but as Brooms are built to last, often owners choose to have engines out after 20 years or so.. for rebuild and clean up of engineroom, also I have seen an engine come and to go off to have a problem sorted in a workshop.. far easier.. and it took only three hours to get it out !!
