Accommodations
The galley is a great piece of engineering with two front-opening 170lt fridges, a 75lt top-loading freezer, four-burner Force 10 gas stove with oven, and Fisher and Paykel rangehood. Moving forward, we step down three steps into the forward cabin area. To starboard is the huge bathroom with Miele combination washer/dryer neatly mounted in a big aft-facing locker. There's also the Tecma electric head and Lectrasan holding and treatment system. To port is the guest cabin with two quite large bunks and storage room. The forward owners' cabin is accessed via a watertight door that doesn't look like a watertight door. It's worth noting that the ship has five watertight compartments, and is designed to survive a severe impact and still float with one or two compartments flooded.
