Accomodation

The interior reflects the practical, no-nonsense approach of serious cruising yachts. Forward v-berth provides a comfortable sleeping area with good storage, while the main saloon offers secure seating, excellent handholds, and a layout well suited to life underway or at anchor. 

The salon berths work as excellent sea berths, and the aft quarter berth has lots of space for additional storage or sleeping on a passage. 

Natural light and ventilation are ample, with lots of opening ports.

There is a FabAll Diesel furnace in place. The overall arrangement prioritizes safety, accessibility, and functionality—hallmarks of the Fraser design. 

The enclosed head is fitted with a composting toilet system, eliminating the need for a blackwater holding tank while remaining compliant with environmental regulations.

The galley is arranged for use at sea, with secure footing, durable surfaces, and practical storage. Wedgwood 3 Burner LPG/Propane stove and two-rack oven. Gimbaled, of course.
