The non slip is excellent. There is an
easy walk into the cockpit though it
is not all on one level. The cockpit is
spacious with a seating area to port. A
small wood coffee table is provided for
the cockpit, which can be interchanged
with the full sized saloon dining table.
Alternatively the buyer can opt for
the coffee table to be replaced with
a full size FRP cockpit table. There is

this area is protected from the weather
by the hardtop bimini.
