stb aft quarter, No davit arrangement, owners have always had a rollaway Avon dinghy which is something I can sympathise with, no extra tail weight, less length to pay in marina, easy access either side of aft platform, etc there is a lot to be said for avoiding a dinghy if you can..
port side to at home berth
aft end, note Teak option to steps Twin opening aft escape hatches let lots of light in. just see, swim ladder port side under platform,
Stb side deck, no steps,, just gentle slope forward, great grabrails as all Broom boats,,
port side deck, side door amidships..
aft walk round deck is loved by crew, you can walk easily, round whole boat, which makes fenders etc easy..
deck hatch is easy to remove and is fitted to allow easy lift out of engine...should the need araise... unlike most other builders.. access to major fittings is thought about..
port side door, good to load kit aboard off pontoon, as well as hopping on and off at pontoon, or lock etc, with a big opening window opposite you can get a good through flow of air as well... just forward of door you can see a small deck fitting...
this is a connection to a TV disc system that the owner bought and has had varying degrees of sucess using !
fordeck, decent fender baskets in each set of rails...

super helm station, note heater outlet at feet,
paper chart area top left...wonderful 10" simrad 44 plotter screen with VHF and DSC units from Icom, simrad autopilot stb under simple single lever morse controls. ( as the boat has just one set of controls, and they are simple cables... the feel and use of these units is as good as it can be, you have no Change over gate to deal with and no electronic delays in action etc... and as they are simpler gearboxes, you can deal with putting them in and out of gear with "Mole grips" if needs be...!! I like simple,, when at sea my self..
