    View (1) coming 
    down companionway.  Out of view are head and shower on right, and aft 
    stateroom on left.  The interior is done in beautiful light cherry wood 
    - oiled, not varnished.  The floor is teak and poplar.  The 
    craftsmanship is unsurpassed.  Valiant builds everything by hand 
    for each specific boat.  Nothing is prefabbed.  The inside is 
    light airy, with a total of 19 hatches and  
    portlights, all which open.  The port settee pulls out into a double 
    berth.  The galley (2) is on the port side.  Includes microwave, propane oven/stove/broiler, both 110-volt and 12-volt powered 
    refrigeration/freezer.  The 12-volt system will be used when we're away 
    from the boat for any length of time, using the wind 
    generator and solar panels to top off the batteries.  Counter top is Corian.  The essential wine glass rack 
    (made to fit specific glasses) is conveniently located above sink.  Navigation 
    station (3) located on starboard side.  It is fully equipped with VHF / 
    SSB / HAM radios, radar with chart plotter, C.A.R.D. (Collision Avoidance 
    Radar Detection system), B&G sailing instruments (with 2 repeaters top 
    side), a black box forward looking sonar, and GPS and modem interface for 
    the PC (not shown).  V-berth 
    (4), wider than a king bed at the widest part, is located forward.  It is actually a few inches wider than a king bed at 
    the widest part.  Steve's mom made all the gorgeous quilts for the boat 
    that coordinate beautifully with everything.  Not shown:  A door 
    for access into the engine "room" is located over toilet.  The 
    companion way stairs come off completely for very easy additional access to 
    the engine.    |
