Niche is a fully cored boat.  Her hull is Airex core with one ounce matte and 2X1808's.  The deck and cabin house are cored with Divinycell with H-80 and 2408.  All the core is 3/4" and vaccum bagged.  Both the hull and deck are painted with Awlgrip.  The hull is Oyster white with a red boot stripe and green bottom.  The deck is white with white non-skid. There is teak decking on the cockpit seats and sole, with Teal Sunbrella cockpit cushion.

The interior of "Niche" features classic Herreshoff style treatment. In the bow of the boat, there is a generous V-berth trimmed out with a mahogany arch.  There is a bench seat at the foot of the berth with drawers and cabinets port and starboard. A head follows aft, on the starboard side. The ample settee comes in right behind the hanging locker. It can also be used as a great offshore upper and lower berth if needed. On the starboard side, behind the head and opposite the settee is the dinette with seating for 5. It can also be converted into a double berth. In the aft part of the Seguin, the galley is right behind the settee, with deep storage and refrigeration. The navigation station is also in the aft part of the boat, coming in right behind the dinette and across from the galley.

2019:  All new interior cushions, including foam.
