This is a favorite area of mine showing the strong and light framing method Sawn oak frames 1 1/2" thick have two steam bent ribs in between. This area has been finished with pine tar, varnish, linseed oil mix. A one year old brydon boy head is located in the lower corner in a ceder box with newer bronze through-hulls. Farther forward is the keel stepped Sampson post and anchor rode storage. Two small ports in the forward cabin sides, a deck skylight and halogen light provide lighting.
       
    The main cabin finished in varnish shows off the solid african mahogany cabin front a 19" wide plank. Also notice the deep V'd yellow ceder cabin roof a bright and strong coach roof a pleasure to contemplate when in your bunk. 6 halogen lights, 6 oval ports (bronze ringed on the inside), and the skylight provide ample lighting for this warm and inviting space. On the port side is a functional but someone amateur swiveling storage cabinet out of yellow ceder and plywood. New 3" foam provides the seating and bunk mattress. Underneath are slated yellow ceder benches. The ceiling in the aft cabin spans 12' and is made from reclaimed old growth fir flooring, the sole (floor)is ash and finished in Urethane.
    The cast iron wood stove provides intense dry heat on the moist chilly days.and ads to the old world ambience. The galley my least favorite creation and in need of an overhaul. The two burner with broiler force 10 propane stove works well. The sink is stainless with the fresh water operating from a foot pump and two polyeurethane water containers in the cockpit. This is a problematic area as one needs to sit on the engine box. Standing headroom is available for those under 5'6" tall.
