Interior Accommodations
SHEARWATER was finished by J Composites in 1998 after being laid in Rhode Island. She has a covered overhead and more veneered bulkheads than her U.S. finished sister ships do. The two stateroom arrangement will sleep six with her v-berth, quarter cabin and salon settee berths. Storage space is well configured and above average for a vessel of her size and performance characteristics, with hanging lockers in each stateroom and numerous drawers, lockers and other storage areas.
Forward is the V-berth cabin and the head arrangement is on the port side just aft of the cabin. A hanging locker is opposite on the starboard side.
The salon is finished with veneered bulkheads and white vinyl overheads. Centerline is the removable- drop-leaf main salon table, perfect for dinners aboard and easy enough to remove for buoy racing on weekends. Linear settees flank both sides of the cabin with storage outboard
The L-shaped galley is aft on the port side and just at the base of the companionway. There is a 2 burner LPG stove/oven, refrigeration, double basin stainless sink, and storage is outboard. Just aft of the galley is the large storage area accessible through a small door or via the cockpit locker.
On the starboard side, opposite the galley, is the forward-facing navigation station with forward facing seat and table with storage below the hinged table top. There are three drawers and a locker below the forward end of the table.
Just aft is the enclosed quarter-berth stateroom. There is a long quarter-berth with a shelf that stretches the length of the cabin along the hull side. A hanging locker is located forward. Two ports and a small hatch provide ventilation.
