Accommodations

The spacious, versatile and comfortable interior layout of Down Time is perfect to use as a live-a-board, for cruising with family and friends and for a couple who is ready to set off on a sailing adventure. 

Starting forward, the master stateroom is large with a centerline, double berth that has a comfortable mattress. The head of the berth can be raised up for reading in bed or watching TV. Storage, light and ventilation are plentiful in this well laid-out cabin. There is private access to a large, port-side head with a separate shower with seat.

Moving aft into the salon, there are two starboard side seats with a small cocktail/game table between them which can be lowered to form a single berth or settee. A large, U-shaped settee with a dining table is directly across from the seats. The large dining table folds to cocktail size and also lowers to form an extra double berth. In addition, there is abundant storage below all the main cabin seating.

Continuing aft on the starboard side, you will find a nav station with a forward facing chart table. The table is designed to accommodate a computer and has drawers and a file drawer below. Look carefully and you will see that the designer, Gerry Douglas, has autographed the underside of the nav station cover!

Directly aft of the nav station is the guest head which has dual entrances from both the salon and the aft guest stateroom. It is also conveniently located next to the companionway stairs for easy access from the cockpit.

Just aft of the guest head is the large, guest stateroom. This cabin has a double berth with a comfortable mattress. The berth is angled to provide increased headroom, ventilation and storage space.

Back in the salon, there is a spacious L-shaped galley on the port side of the companionway stairs. Just aft of the galley is an innovative cabin on the port side. This is a flexible space that can easily be converted to meet your cruising needs without tools or additional parts. The cabin can be used as an additional guest cabin with either a double berth or upper and lower singles. When not needed for guests, it can be converted to a locker with work bench and storage bins.

Galley

The spacious, L-shaped galley has the features needed for extended cruising. Special attention is paid to storage, such as the pantry with vinyl coated wire racks and special lockers for canned goods, bottles, dishes and cookware. A set of Calphalon pots and pans go with the boat as well as a set of dishes and tableware. Down Time has an additional refrigeration/freezer unit located in the top loading insulated compartment in the galley. More details include:
