SALOON
Looking forward through the saloon. The leather arm-chairs convert
to single beds. The window blinds are from Habitat, and allow you
to see out even when they are closed.
DINETTE
The dinette converts to a double bed. The window
alongside, and opening doors opposite make this a bright place
to sit and eat and watch the world go by.
GALLEY
The galley is set either side of the boat, and
has plenty of worktop space and cupboards.
The oven and grill are set in a pillar, with a locker above.
The farmhouse kitchen sink is set in a granite worktop.
The Zanussi Studio Line washing machine fits neatly
under the worktop, with a removable wooden panel to conceal it.
The fridge is concealed behind an opening wooden
door that matches the rest of the joinery.
BEDROOM
The double bed is set across the boat, with the
bottom section of the sprung mattress storing on the bedhead
during the day
Storage is provided by a double wardrobe, cabinets either side
of the bed, and lockers under the bed.
