GALLEY:
Fair Wind’s galley is designed for efficient meal preparation at sea, as well as dockside live aboard convenience. For security at sea, a unique niche is provided to hold the cook in position in even the roughest offshore conditions. The oven is protected with a stainless steel safety bar with a harness and pad-eyes. There is voluminous storage for crockery and passage-making provisions, and extra light is provided with two florescent lights.

The galley is U-shaped and located aft to port with double sink in center of boat creating niche between sink and refrigerator. Three-burner Force 10 propane stove/Oven/Broiler ’97 with stainless safety bar is opposite sink; behind the stove are shelves with sliding doors. There is Grunert 12v refrigeration/ice cube maker. There are four drawers and storage under sink. Formica counter tops; hot and cold pressure water; fresh and salt water hand pumps; shelves with sliding doors the entire length of galley; dry storage; two spice racks; towel rack. The hot water tank heats from either the internal engine cooling water or 120v when hooked to shore power.
