The whole below deck area has been very tastefully maintained. She has beautiful glossed teak floors, louvered and plain cabinetry and curved rails, in typical ‘Passport’ style. The varnish is highlighted with white paintwork, giving a very light and airy feel. The worksurfaces, tabletop and shower area are of a neutral cream and white ‘Corian’ surface. All the head linings in the sleeping areas have been replaced.
As you come down the ladder from the cockpit, facing the bow into the living area, you will notice the spacious headroom in excess of 6 feet and the eye-catching butterfly hatch.
