This quality built boat offers a traditional teak interior with built in
leaded glass cabinets, at teak and holly sole ... with a roomy interior.
All in a boat that sails well. Large enough for Lake Michigan
and entertaining and small enough to single hand. Lots of opening
ports make this a very light and airy interior. 
Starting forward, she has a roomy vee berth with a large filler cushion. This allows you to comfortably sleep either a couple or two singles. There is a shelf all around the perimeter for your "stuff" .. like your books and glasses. There is a private entrance to the head, a large overhead hatch and two opening ports for lots of light and ventilation. With two built in reading lights, 110V outlets on each side, and a large hanging locker this is a very comfortable space. Underneath are two large dry lockers for storage.
Next aft to port is the large head with two opening ports, an opening overhead hatch, great standing headroom with a large shower area, shower sump, nice vanity with storage, mirrored doors and lots of storage with a large locker and cabinets. Hot and cold pressure water and a large holding tank.
The salon features an dining area to port with
an L-shaped settee and a single settee to starboard. The drop leaf
dining table folds up against the forward bulk head when not in use
and conceals a built in teak storage rack for all your cups, plates and
other needs. When in use the generously sized leaf extends across
the salon allowing you to comfortably seat 6 or more for dinner or snacks.
The dinette also converts easily into a double berth.
There are built in shelf and cabinets above, behind and below both settees for storage, as well as another locker and cabinet in the forward end of the port side. You will love the easy access storage on this boat.
At the base of the companionway to port is the uniquely designed aft facing nav station. The nav table itself slides out of way under the cockpit when not in use allowing free access to the quarterberth. When in use, it slide out and locks in place for a traditional roomy nav station with storage for your charts and room for your instruments.
Across to starboard is also the U-shaped galley,
featuring leaded glass storage cabinets and a butcher block counter with
tons of space. There is generous work space on three sides, a teak
wine glass storage area, a 2 burner alcohol stove, built-in microwave,
Norcold 12V/110V refrigeration in a large icebox and a built-in trash chute
into the lazarette. She has a deep double S.S. sink with hot and
cold pressure water.
