The saloon has two comfy armchairs, which convert, into single berths, an LCD TV with DVD and a radio.
A boiler supplies the central heating with a solid fuel stove providing additional heating in the colder months. The saloon is fully carpeted; storage steps lead to the bow deck where the gas locker is located.

The engine is serviced regularly and we are also members of a breakdown association.
