This is the Owner's Version of this Beneteau model, with a forward master suite, a second head off of the salon, and a private guest stateroom aft.

Joinery is satin-finished pear wood and presents a bright attractive interior.

The salon is extremely voluminous, with a high overhead and seating for perhaps a dozen. There are plenty of large opening portlights, an overhead hatch and additional sidelights to bring in lots of illumination and air. Cleverly-stored retractable shades can cover the portlights.

The galley is aft starboard and has good solid-surface countertop space, lots of storage, and separate refrigerator and freezer compartments. A newer high-quailty (and spotless) Force-10 stainless steel propane range is gimbal-mounted.

The master stateroom is an attractive and well-lit space, with a settee opposite the berth, and many storage lockers. The master head is in the forepeak and is cleanly designed, watertight, and well-lit and ventilated.

The forward head is manual flush and the aft head is a vacuflush system.

11 gallon hot water tank.

Cabin heat and air conditioning from two Cruiseair reverse-cycle systems (12,000 BTU and 16,000 BTU respectively).

Flat panel TVs with integral DVD players in the salon and forward stateroom are 12 vdc powered for reduced energy consumption at anchor. Fusion ip700 iPod-compatible stereo with Sirius satellite capability.
