The interior is very open and airy, with newly done cushions and soft goods, fresh paint and varnished mahogany trim and cabinetry. Up two steps farther aft and one is welcomed into a large open cockpit, fully protected from the sun. All six of her windows open inward to allow for a fully “alfresco” feeling if desired.
