immaculate Haines has made a real effort with its timber fitout over the last few years and the well-executed wood joinery seen here is immaculate. Offered in a range of traditional and contemporary timbers, we particularly like the oak with contrasting walnut flooring and


trim used here. It’s clean and modern without being bland. The large opening skylight in the saloon deckhead is a great touch, not only for the extra daylight it brings but also for ventilation. We also like the fact that Haines has incorporated a blind in the deckhead, so you can shut out the world for a more cosy feel. Split between the main U-shaped


area to starboard and a couch opposite, the seating is very sociable and spread out.


The two cabins offer plenty of


headroom and reasonable storage. But for serious cruising folk it is likely to be the galley and toilet compartments that impress most. The galley spreads itself to port


and starboard, which means that as well as having room for domestic- sized appliances and a double sink, there is plenty of countertop and stowage space. The forecabin has split


bathroom facilities with a toilet compartment to one side and


a shower cubicle on the other. Haines has also managed to incorporate a separate shower stall within the aft cabin‘s en suite toilet compartment. All these areas boast plenty of elbow room and are very smartly finished off, with ceramic basins (a bit on the small size), and Avonite surfaces bordered by smart stainless steel fiddles. Manual toilets come as standard, so it’s annoying that you have to shell out extra to go electric.
