Saloon

Notable for its generous beam and warm teak joinery, the interior offers a roomy saloon, a large galley, and comfortable cabins — unusually spacious for a 35-footer.

The salon features a teak and holly sole, a beige upholstered settee to starboard with a table, and a settee to port. There is a wood storage cupboard to starboard forward with a louvered door and shelf, sliding doors behind the settees, and a nav desk to port aft of the port side settee with the electrical panel and electronics. On the forward bulkhead is a bookshelf and decorative oil lights.

The galley is to starboard and features a double stainless sink at centerline, a top-loading storage locker, a three-burner propane stove/oven with a removable wooden top, and a double top-loading fridge/freezer combination with the compressor located in the aft sail locker in the cockpit. Aft of the galley is shallow counter space and wooden storage for dishes. The wood is in very good condition.

The head is forward of the bulkhead and includes a Jabsco head, a stainless round sink, and a separated showering area.

The v-berth is forward with access to the anchor locker and tankage underneath. There is teak shelving around access to the bilge, two wooden capped drawers and two louvered cupboards, a ventilation fan, a 12V light, a 110V plug, a teak shelf and a cupboard below a sliding cupboard door above. A folding teak access door leads to the saloon, and there is a door to the head between the saloon and the forward v-berth. A deck hatch above and stainless-surrounded opening ports are on either side of the cabin top.

The aft quarterberth is aft of the nav station on the port side with a folding wooden door opposite the galley. It has an opening ventilation port, wooden opening storage cupboards and a hanging locker, a bench seat in matching upholstery, and a teak-accented shelf along the length of the port side with a fishing rod and flag holder.
