Accomodations


Below deck you'll be impressed with the spacious open feeling. It may be hard to believe you have all this room and comfort on a 38 foot boat.


The GALLEY is immediately to starboard and is easily accessible to the cockpit and main salon. It has a generous wraparound counter with ample work space, drawers, lockers and laminate lined cabinets.  The Galley features a propane stove with counter-top matching cover insert to extend counter space, double stainless steel sinks, and refrigerator/freezer. Other special features include a slideout trash receptacle, fold-up counter extension, and built-in dish rack.


The MAIN SALON  is large enough to entertain guests but comfortable for an intimate dinner for two. The central hinged table may be either secured against the bulkhead or easily lowered to make a large dining area, which seats 6-7 people. As with all Island Packets, there is an exceptional amount of storage space. Settees are covered with luxurious Ultra-Leather Upholstery. Both settees are full length for added sleeping area with the port side pulling out to make a nice queen-size berth. The cabinetry is beautiful, hand-oiled teak and the abundant light fixtures and handrails throughout the cabin are well placed.


The hinged top NAV STATION  is at the aft end of the port side salon settee. You'll find a deluxe well labeled electrical panel for all AC & DC functions and all other breakers. A chart drawer large enough for bound chart packs is provided underneath the settee and there is a handy drawer for navigation tools below the table top.


The FORWARD OWNERS STATEROOM  has a large center-line island queen-berth with access from both sides. There is a large blanket chest located beneath the foot of the queen bed that lifts on gas support struts to reveal a large storage area. Drawers, storage bins, and a generous hanging locker provide further storage. The Owner's cabin has a private door to the head.


The HEAD  is huge and can be accessed from the forward cabin or the main salon. It features a nice sized vanity with cabinet below a deep polished oval stainless steel sink. It has a large overhead hatch, opening port, and several lockers for toiletry items. It is made even more spacious with a clever folding shower stall enclosure that stows against the bulkhead when not in use. It also features a full length mirror and fold-down teak shower seat. The original aluminum holding tank was replaced with an identical poly tank and has always been used as a freshwater head.


The AFT CABIN features a large pullman style athwartship bunk with foam cushions and a custom storage cabinet in place of the original sink. It also features a full length mirror and ample storage with a roomy cedar-lined hanging locker and drawers.
