Comfort afloat is enhanced by two opening air vents and a Meaco dehumidifier, new in 2023, which drains directly into the sink during winter storage.

The saloon also features a Sony CD/radio, clock and barometer, together with a Raymarine navigation monitor and wired keyboard conveniently positioned adjacent to the chart table, creating a practical and comfortable navigation station.
