Aft of this is a center line head, enclosed in a cabinet, holding tank under a counter top to stbd. with fuel tank and heater mounted on a partial bulkhead, and a sleeping berth to port. Aft of the partial bulkhead to stbd. is a bench seat with stowage under. A removable table mounts 'round the mast to form a dinning area in conjunction with the port berth. Next aft to port is a counter and cabinet with drawers and bins that also houses the cook stove. To starboard is a similar counter and cabinet that houses the sink, icebox, and a top loading food storage bin. Both port and starboard cabinets have outboard storage behind sliding doors and racks for dishes/utensils above. Aft of this galley area are twin 6'5" quarter berths, between which is the removable companionway step/box that houses the engine.
