As you can see from the pictures, the boat is laid out with a large open cockpit and a small cutty cabin. This layout provides a comfortable platform for sailing the boat alone or with several crew and a small but adequate space to sleep for two under the cutty. Below there is a butane two burner stove to cook with. There is a large locker under the bunk platform and hanging canvas stowage bags. In the cockpit there is a porta poti stowed in cleats out of the way under the main thwart. The main, Danforth anchor is stowed in the forward cockpit under the side deck and 150’ of rode in on a reel next to the anchor so the anchor can be put over the side from the cockpit or can be walked forward. A second, fisherman anchor is stowed, with rode under the aft deck. Chart stowage on a tray under the aft deck handy to the helmsman.
