From the cockpit a removable 4-step varnished wood companionway ladder with teak treads and port and starboard handholds provide access from the cockpit to the main cabin accommodations below.

Starboard of the steps is a custom cherry binocular box strategically mounted on a cherry finished aft bulkhead making it convenient to access from the nav station or the companionway.  Through a louvered cherry door behind the steps is a storage area. 

At the bottom of the companionway steps, the main cabin includes a galley immediately to port along with the nav station and custom walk-in aft quarter berth area to starboard. The full width main salon is forward.

Features Include
A well-lighted and ventilated area from the companionway hatch, large and small ports, and an opening overhead hatch with screen. Integral varnished mahogany handholds are full length port and starboard below the ports. A teak grate dustpan is built into the teak and holly sole. 

The Galley, situated on the port side, possesses a U-shaped design that offers convenient access from the cockpit. A partial bulkhead, fitted with a cherry-wood cap rail and integrated handhold for added security, distinguishes it from the forward main salon.

The Galley's interior includes a white Formica countertop and cabinets bordered with cherry wood. A varnished cherry wood finish also coats the cabin overhead. Along the outboard and aft sections of the Galley, sliding louvered doors made of cherry wood ensure enclosed storage. A double stainless-steel sink is present, offering hot and cold pressurized water options. Below the sink is an array of storage space and, slightly outboard, a spacious area under the countertop accessible through a hatch allows more room. A bespoke knife rack is conveniently situated in front of this hatch. A corresponding foldable extension of the countertop is positioned inboard of the sink.

The Galley features a stainless-steel Mariner 3 burner gimbaled stove equipped with a glass-doored oven at the outboard side. The countertop area is bedecked with dome lights, a 12-volt fan, and a large window outboard. The aft end of the Galley accommodates the Grunert refrigerator and freezer, which can be accessed through countertop hatches. A varnished cherry rack for mugs and glasses is also present. Moreover, this area houses the switch for the LPG gas.

Aft to starboard of the companionway is a walk-in quarter berth featuring a single berth with storage underneath. Through double doors is additional storage with access to the engine. A custom mounted EPIRB is also situated in this cabin for convenient access.
