Deck and Hull Equipment:
The Bow Starting from the bow, there is a large stainless steel bow pulpit and teak platform over the bowsprit. The platform contains the 2 anchor rollers and anchor stowage plus the attachment fitting for the detachable forestay. Immediately aft and 2 steps down is an open well which contains a pair of samson posts, the chain and line rode windlass and the hawsepipes leading to chain and line lockers below deck. The well has 2 drains and 2 bronze hawse holes for the forward mooring lines. Mainmast Area The mainmast area has a large deckbox forward of the mast and pulpits with custom stowage for 4 scuba tanks, 2 on either side of the mast. The port pulpit also has stowage for the detachable forestay. Port and starboard just aft of the mast on the caprail is stowage for the running backstays which support the forestaysail when it is rigged. The Deck The entire deck is natural weathered teak planking. Bulwarks capped with brightwork surround the deck, as do stanchions and double lifelines. Chainplates are fastened to the outside of the hull, and there is a deep rubrail along both sides of the boat. It is weathered teak with a stainless steel cap and is useful as a step. Just aft of the mast is the cradle for the liferaft and aft of that is a long, full-beam open deck leading to the pilothouse. Midship cleats are mounted on teak blocks high enough to clear the bulwarks. The Charlie Noble through-deck fitting for the removable woodstove chimney is to port, closed off by a threaded bronze deckplate. Teak decking runs aft along both sides of the pilothouse for easy passage to the stern. About halfway aft are port and starboard gates in the lifelines. To port is the fold-up boarding stage/swim platform and ladder and to starboard, the entry to the companionway with an overhead sliding hatch, double doors and a custom locking device.

The mizzen mast is 2 feet forward of the binnacle, permitting easy passage around the cockpit. Forward of the mizzen mast is an instrument console containing a second GPS unit, depth sounder, VHF radio, wind indicator and tri-data.The cockpit can be completely enclosed by a bimini above and detachable roll-down side windows. The cockpit can also be accessed from the aft deck through a short passageway which houses a hot and cold water shower. Aft Deck and Transom The raised aft deck surrounds the cockpit on 3 sides and extends well aft of it. There is a deckbox that runs across the top of the transom. A stern pulpit encloses the aft deck and there is a gate amidships for stern entry. The new, custom made dinghy davits curve aft over the transom and
