Accommodations

Felicity features a roomy, teak interior with two staterooms and two heads. 

The forward Guest Cabin has a large V-berth with filler, storage under and overhead port & starboard.  There is a hatch overhead and two opening ports.

The Forward Head is aft of the Forward Cabin to port.  NOTE: The toilet and holding tank have been removed and the space is used primarily for storage.

The Main Saloon features a L-shaped settee to port with a bulkhead-mounted fold-down dining table.  Ample storage outboard and below. There are two bucket seats to starboard with a storage locker between topped with a seat cushion. There is a table that folds down between the two seats that can be used for dining, drinks, or playing checkers with the inlaid checker board. There are several storage lockers along the starboard hull.  Other Main Saloon features include a clock & barometer, oil lamp, inclinometer, 12V fans, several opening ports, and LED lighting.

The Galley is aft to port and the Full-sized Nav Desk is aft to starboard.  Continuing aft to starboard is the walk-through to the Aft Cabin with a work bench and massive storage outboard, and access to the Engine Room inboard.  

Continuing aft through the walk-through is the large Aft Cabin with a Queen size berth, several opening ports, and access to the Aft Head to port. Note: the Aft Head toilet has been removed.  There is a new composting toilet in its place, vented overboard to eliminate odor.
