The saloon has seating across the forward bulkhead and seating/single berths along either side, with storage lockers above.

Access to the forepeak is via an opening in the bulkhead adjacent to the mast step. To port of this is a heads compartment with sea toilet, installed so as to allow very easy access to all plumbing.
