Aft to port is the galley consisting of a large stainless steel sink with fresh water hand pump set in a bright woodwork counter with drawers and lockers outboard and below.

"Over the past ten years this vessel has had some major work. She has been in her boat shop during that time where she had some plank replacement: the bottom was fully stripped, re-caulked, refastened, and painted. The decks were reefed and re-caulked, and the bulwarks were replaced along with the timber heads. During this time the chainplates were replaced and the wire rigging was replaced along with the running rigging." Paul Haley, 2022 of Capt. G.W. Full & Associates
