COMMENTS

Finnish craft, quite common on the continent but fairly rare in the UK. You steer under a sliding cockpit roof in the centre of the boat. Unusual layout with large double berth at the pointy end, a raised table and seating (converts to second double) to port and steering position in front of galley to starboard. Behind galley (going under rear cockpit) is a single berth. Opposite to this is shower and sea toilet. Further aft is a self draining cockpit with seating to starboard. Engine, gas, battery and storage compartments below floor.

Extras include;
Travel Log (for speed and mileage)
GPS plotter (unusable on the river really)
Shore power (although no hookup at marina available at the moment)
