[edit] Overview

This cruiser included the typical forward stateroom or vee-birth, an enclosed bridge area (much the same as a salon) in the center and another stateroom in the aft area. The aft cabin ceiling was high throughout. These had a small aft deck accessible through a door in the aft cabin. The fly bridge was located on the aft cabin roof.
