Accommodation Access the boat easily over the swim step through a gate in the transom into the COCKPIT area. It features a foldaway forward-facing bench seat on the transom and an aft-facing fixed bench seat with a reversible backrest, separating the cockpit from the raised helm area. There is a single helm seat to starboard and an "L" shaped seating area to port.

A high radar arch rises over the cockpit, supporting the removable canopy that encloses the entire area. The sides can be removed to create a bimini cover for weather and sun protection. From the helm, you can step down and forward into the cabin area or step up and through a fold-aside center window section for access to the long foredeck and electric anchor windlass.

The SALOON is cleverly designed to provide a surprisingly roomy and useful space for a 28-footer. The initial impression is of a much larger cabin due to its open design extending to the bow. The fixed double FORWARD BERTH can be separated by sliding curtains to create a "forward compartment" for added privacy.

The mid-section serves as the main saloon, featuring a functional galley on the port side and a dining table with two facing benches opposite. The table lowers to create an additional double berth when needed. The GALLEY includes a covered two-burner alcohol/electric stove and a sink with pressurized hot and cold water. The under-counter area is fully utilized for storage.

A 240v microwave is fitted above the sink, and a 12v refrigerator is located opposite under the dinette seating. Aft of the dining area is a fully molded wetroom / HEAD compartment with good headroom, including a sea toilet with holding tank, wash basin, and shower. Under the cockpit is another double AFT BERTH . A port hole into the helm area provides lighting to this space. When not used as a berth, it serves as a large storage area.
