Lower Deck

Interior Design by Plachter-Vogel Design
We are big people, so this stateroom starts with a king size bed.
Fortunately, it is a big room and with the midship location has the full beam to
use for accommodations. Around the bed, we have been able to build in
dresser drawers under the port light and under the book cabinet next to the
forward door. We also have a limited amount of hanging locker space in the
corners. Under the bed there are large drawers for bed linens and
blankets. We also get tall book cases on each side of the bed. One
side has a Furuno Navnet data station and remote VHF mike for keeping an eye out at night.
Owner's Head
In spite of all the room in the stateroom, we still have room for a large
head. The center piece is the 4' diameter round shower with frameless
glass enclosure. This is accompanied by a vessel sink on a maple
countertop. A large built in hamper helps keep clutter under control.
Mallory owns the port stateroom. It is set up with a full size bed
against the aft wall and a twin bunk above her feet. She has drawers under
the bunk and on each side of the built in desk. Lockers are located above
the desk and bed and there is a hanging locker by the door.
Our guests will use the forward stateroom with its queen size bed.
There are enough lockers for a long pleasant stay and direct access to the guest
head. Andy and Julia will enjoy this area when they come to visit.
We hope they'll visit for some long trips when they have time.
Primary Head
Heads in a large trawler can be spacious. This one has a 3'x4'
frameless glass shower, doors that can open from the guest room and latch open,
an oversized toilet, and plenty of room around the sink.
Ship's Office
Taking an idea from sailboat nav-stations, the office is directly off the
stairs and open to the companionway. We think this will allow someone
working in the office to still be aware of what's going on in the galley, but
still have some privacy. The office will have a docking station for our
laptops to share, laser printer, and a wide variety of communications
connections.
