Deck

Her spacious cockpit allows for safe and secure navigation in all conditions.  The robust 1.5" stainless pushpin and pulpit are oversized and extremely sturdy.  Her TEAK DECKS are immaculate, with considerable thickness and they are GLUED DOWN, NOT SCREWED!!  So, there is no concern for the condition of the underlying deck core. The bulwarks are high thus providing for sure-footed movement forward in all conditions.
