The interior of RESOLUTE is designed to have plenty of natural light and airflow, with good headroom. The sole in the salon, galley, head, and pilothouse are all hardwood in very good condition. There is access in the salon sole to the engine room, while access to the mechanical room is in the galley sole.
The mahogany woodwork throughout RESOLUTE is in very good condition. Quality materials were used at construction, and it shows.
All of the windows open from the top down, and act like a “transom window” to bring in fresh air. The wood blinds can also be lowered to the height of the open window. This provides privacy while the window is open.
All of the lighting on RESOLUTE has been upgraded to LED.
Salon
The salon on RESOLUTE is entered from the cockpit door, which has a custom Phantom Screen (12/2019) that enhances the air-flow throughout the living space. There are two large hinged hatches in the hardwood sole to access the engine room.
Two free-standing futons are to starboard, which fold-out to two double berths. Two wood folding “TV” tray tables are stored between the futons, and can be used in the salon or in the cockpit. There is open storage space beneath the futons.
A single daybed is to port. The area under the daybed has drawers for storage which go all the way to the bulkhead. The built-in end tables on either side of the daybed also have storage. A small end table that was originally between chairs to port is on top of the aft end table to port, and can be relocated.
A Sony television is mounted forward to port. The salon walls are vinyl “contact” wallpaper beneath the wood trim, and painted wood above the wood trim.
A pocket door separates the salon and galley, and can be used for privacy when the salon is used for additional berths.
Galley and Dinette
The U-shaped galley is to port and has numerous mahogany cabinets for storage; the cabinets all secure tightly. The galley also features: marble countertops, a double fiberglass sink with a one-touch pull-out faucet, a filtered drinking water faucet, two electrical outlets, 12v lighting, the timer for the hot water heater, and an opening window over the sink with a wood blind. The “butcher block” countertop forward is made of acacia wood, which is considered very durable with naturally-occurring oils that are anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
The Wolf propane two-burner cooktop (11/2022) has a spark ignition, but does not need power to function. Each burner has separate controllable high/low flames, with a light-up control display. The propane control valve for the vessel is in the cockpit ceiling at the salon door. The aluminum heat shield behind and over the cooktop has integrated air space to allow the heat to escape.
The galley sole has a hinged-hatch-within-a-hinged-hatch which provides access to the ladder into the mechanical room. There are two chest freezers in the mechanical room. The owners report that they fill both freezers for a six month season in the islands.
The electrical panel is in a lower cabinet just inside the galley.
The dinette is across from the galley, forward of the head. There is additional drawer storage under the dinette, which is one step up, and features a hardwood sole. The four-seat dinette has been converted to a two-seat dinette with the addition of a platform with two Danby refrigerators (12/2023). The locking refrigerators are securely fastened.
Head
The head on RESOLUTE is to starboard, across from the galley. Two large towel bars are mounted on the outside of the door. The sole is the same hardwood as the salon and galley. The head features: vinyl “contact” wallpaper walls, a double door vanity with shelf, a stainless steel bowl sink, a hot/cold faucet, a toilet paper holder, a large mirror, a large towel bar behind the door, a wall hook, a vanity light fixture, an opening window with a wood blind, and a Jabsco raw water head (10/2015).
The entire stall shower is tiled (10/2015) and features: a fabric shower curtain, a fan, a removable shower head, a ceiling light, and a grab bar/towel bar.
Pilothouse
The pilothouse on RESOLUTE is two steps up from the galley. The hardwood sole continues in the pilothouse, and has rubberized mats for safe maneuvering. The five pane windshield provides good sightlines and natural light. Each window has a separate one-finger honeycomb blind for sun shade while underway and for privacy when needed. There are two side doors with opening windows with screens which direct air-flow through the cabin.
The helm features a stainless steel ship’s wheel; a spare wooden ship’s wheel is stored in the mechanical room. The two multi-adjustable pilothouse chairs mounted on heavy duty swing arms with diamond plate foot rests were installed in November 2023.
The pilothouse also features: four ceiling-height storage cabinets, two navigational drawers, and two reading lights. There is redundancy in the electronics and VHF radio. A unique feature of the gauges is that they are all set so that the optimal reading is at 12 o’clock; this allows the captain to know at a glance if all of the readings are where they should be.
Stairs to the stateroom are to port in the pilothouse.
Stateroom
RESOLUTE has a single stateroom forward, down several open stairs from the pilothouse. The stateroom is designed to have two Queen-sized berths. Currently, there is a Tempur-Pedic mattress (11/2022) on the berth to starboard. The berth to port is used for storage, and has a bar for hanging clothing. A curtain can be installed on the hidden curtain rod to cover the storage area, or a mattress can be added, but one does not convey with the vessel.
Storage is also available in the large closet forward with two hanging bars, in the two sets of four drawers in the bulkheads to both port and starboard, in the cabinet to port, and in the open shelves in the bulkhead to port. A Vizio television with Sony DVD player is on the cabinet to starboard.
There are two large windows, which have darkening covers, two wall lights, one reading light over the berth, a fan, and the digital control panel for the reverse cycle AC/Heat for the stateroom. The sole is plywood covered with wall-to-wall rubber snap-in mats. The walls are covered with vinyl “contact” wallpaper.
