Interior Features

Crackerjack's layout below deck is slightly modified to accommodate the relocation of the mast from the salon to the head. This opens space around the dining table and still allows functional space in the head and separate shower. The galley and nav station are located adjacent to the companionway ladder and the engine compartment aft. The salon and head are midship with the V-berth cabin forward with a separate door.

All the woodwork is satin varnished teak. The cabin sole, which is totally removable, is solid varnished teak and holly. The interior hull sides are sheathed with teak battens (ceilings) which are set off the hull to provide ventilation. Lockers are all wood lined. The overheads and under decks are white laminate.
