Starting around the outside then working forward ..photos taken on a rather grey drab day I am afraid so bear that in in mind
Layout, nearly right....! the image shows the berths in the stb cabin crossing over.. some do some dont! on this boat the bottom and top bunks both run fore and aft, the bottom one is wider and so access to it is easy, the galley has also changed slightly but small detail only.
Forward, Anchor arrangements, note deck switches, there are switches at the main helm as well, twin static deck vents to forward cabin..note bollard to take strain of chain when at anchor.
Looking aft, three deck hatches on to side cabin one to galley area and one to fore cabin..
solid fender baskets Four fenders each side.. note Aikona plastic Teak decking works well,, this stuff does actually look good unlike the old offerings that looked very "Plastic" indeed...
Usual open easy side decks, with high grab rail along coachroof side,
Deck hatch, full engine can come out of the roof if every required, Mr Brooms thinking was always that somebody would want them out sometime.. be it a problem, rebuild or just to clean out..
make it easy, as they do and you can have an engine in and out in just a day.
Aloft, the big GRP radar arch does drop with ease, to reduce airdruaght to around 3.43m. to allow trip to Med down the inside... open array scanners offer better definition
on radar, front section of canopy can fold back against arch when weather is good for open top boating..
Side ladder drops in either side deck, the tall hand hold extensions make this a really good ladder.. it folds in half down its length to stow..
aft platform down side steps each side.. hinged gate each side..
Cooney / Broom davit system. These twin arm but single fixing davit arms have proved very popular. They are very strong, simple, take the weight of dinghy and davit etc down to transom base at platform level rather that high up which is good, they also can be removed readily which is useful. They down side of these fixed arm davits is that when you have a nice rib with a steering console the ends of the davit arms are within and inch of the steering console GRP when the boat is afloat which makes it very hard work to attach and detach without clonking and bashing the s/s davit end plate against the dinghy console especially if there is any water movement at all... The owner ( engineer) decided to sort this out and after much time effort money and no doubt an amount of bad language has come up with a very satisfactory answer which Broom/ Cooney would do well to adopt.. There is now a manual winch in the inboard end of the davit arm with a drop wire that allows for around 18" of extension to the outer end, this means the dinghy can be lowered down enough that there is no conflict and the geometry of the arm and bathing platfrom clearance still works fine..The davit had to be reinforced to allow for the cut out made etc..
aft cockpit, stb side, ivory upholstery is very smart, teak drop down double leaf tables are nice, central infill piece is stored under co-pilot seat..
stowage under all seats..drop down canopy if weather allows..
port side, note liferaft under extra drop down seat, co-pilot bench seat has huge stowage under, and gas struts to assist lift, heavy strap hinges built into arch run along under speaker in shot...
again Engineer owner wanted full headroom under forward section of canopy at helm.. ( I want same..) and by redesigning frame work to owners design Broom have achieved it.
helm station to stb, full size E120 , Radar / Plotter Log echo and autopilot all neat, electronic compass as well as magnetic and autopilot one! stern and bow thruster joy sticks just visible over throttles..
sliding door to saloon steps, big paper chart area port side, extra GPS stand alone plotter in bracket is not technically included as it is on loan,
co-pilot bench two possibly three can sit here, nice foot rail and grab rail as well..
Heater outlet at helm feet front and back of helm seat.
