Forward through a door to port into the wheelhouse saloon with deep windows on all sides giving a 360° view of the countryside. Headroom of 2.05m adds to the open airy feeling but the warm wood finishings add a cozy touch too. Forward again and down just two steps to the galley area. First to port a larder with plenty of shelves and a second fridge (12v). Opposite to starboard the table from the dinette has been removed and this space is presently used as an office.
