port side, note window covers have reduced sun fade...
Helm station set to stb, note two screens, one for radar and one for plotter, second GPS plotter to right of wheel, autopilot electronic compass and tri-data overhead, opening side window is handy when short handed as with careful placement of your insitu lines you can reach through window and drop it on to the spring cleat from helm position !
Co-pilot side, note two big opening deck hatches slide aft, to allow crew to stand , at the helm also you can stand with head and shoulders out... the co-pilot seat "rolls" aft to face dinette table...
Or forward and is big enough for two even three to look forward underway.. reasonable paper chart area,
Dinette set to port, opening table.. drops to make up a reasonably double berth here if required.

Galley down stb side, good stowage.
battery switches under dinette step, note fire extinguisher..
floor here, ( stood at galley, ) lifts to give gerat access to stb engine, obviously port not so easy, but the floor under table does all come away and there is access from the aft end as well. They even fit access panels in the side cabin which allow acces to the front of both engines which is good for water pumps, belts etc.
cockpit table port aft,
stb side, shore power connection obvious, locker under seat, transom gate also easy, and aft platform allows boarding off either aft corner.

port side aft, She is coming ashore here in Hythe September first week so will be available to see close up, she is being washed, waxed etc..
Aloft, The radar is sat on a S/S "cake stand" the stainless aft light pole will hinge down, making the radome the highest point as all else hinges down...The GRP arch is actually only on with four tapped fastenings so if you were wanting minimum airdraught to take this off and hang over cockpit is not difficult and I have done it often for transport. so if exploring small canals in France etc, in this boat you should be able to go to most places!
Foredeck, Note hot air outlets inside screen, twin arm pantograph wipers with fresh water wash, (important to have decent wipers on a coupe style boat. )
, note step through in Pullpit, as bow boarding is common in Scandinavia, Teak side decks,
Electric windlass is hidden under deck hatch, chain drops below, note deck switches, as well as at helm remotes, The Bruce anchor pulls up through a roller under the short Bowsprit area
looking aft, fabulous view out of narrow pillars of "Ertech" made toughened glass screens.
big opening deck hatches, allow helm to stand with head out for good view and to take the sun !, on a foggy approach to harbour, or entering a lock etc, it is very nice to be able to have your eyes, and ears out in the air,
