Forward of this is the owners cabin, joinery not completed. Access from deck hatch midships to the main hold, not yet fitted out. Good head-room all through. Domestic gravity flush with a bucket toilet in deck accessed compartment.
A big boat in reasonable condition, ready for a passage with what appears to be a good engine.
