Vessel Walkthrough
Starting forward is the double v-berth cabin. There is shelving above and outboard of the berth and drawers and hanging lockers aft to port and starboard of the berth. The double v-berth has been raised to give additional storage beneath.
Aft and port of the forward cabin is the forward head unit with single stainless steel sink, vanity mirror, cabinet storage, shower and head. The head unit can be accessed from both the forward cabin and the main salon.
The main salon is next aft. There is a fore and aft facing dinette surrounding a solid teak dining table to port. To starboard in the main salon is an upholstered settee. There is plenty of storage both above the settees and below.
The U-galley is located port aft of the main salon. The stove is located outboard with the refrigeration and stainless steel sinks aft and worktop space forward. There is a shelving unit above the sinks and refrigerators and cupboards below the work tops and above to outboard. There is a large storage pantry reaching from the cabin sole to the overhead deck.
Opposite the galley to starboard is the forward facing navigation station. There is a large chart table with upholstered seat, storage locker, compass and navigation equipment above to outboard.
Aft of the navigation station is the walkthrough to the aft cabin. The walk-though has been custom made with additional storage in place of the pilot berth found on most versions of this design.
The master cabin aft has a large centerline double berth. There is plenty of storage including a large hanging locker, cabinets and drawers. The original ladder leading to the aft companionway has been converted to incorporate a beautiful custom teak locker with shelving.
The master cabin ensuite head is forward to port of the master cabin and has shower, head, sink, vanity and cabinet storage.
Tulum is well ventilated throughout with an additional 10 x10 hatch over the galley and two opening ports above the stove.
