A large serving pier, with glass-fronted display cabinets in it separates the saloon from the galley. This is 8ft 6in long, set either side of the boat, with an L-shaped worktop one side. The worktops are also made from granite, cut, polished and moulded, with grooves machined in for drainage.

 

As we have said, cooking is electric with a DeDietrich induction four ring hob, which Marilyn says is as fast as gas. Beneath it are an oven and grill. A Farmhouse porcelain sink is set in the worktop, while the fridge beneath is concealed behind a wooden door.

 

The galley has ample worktop and storage space, helped by tailor-made plate racks and crockery stowages.

Light and ventilation come from a pigeon-box overhead, together with opening doors over the sink, which have hinged glass inner doors, allowing light without draughts.

Elaborate sculptured joinery and scrollwork round the galley, and intricate burr wood drawer fronts are typical of the superb standard of woodwork throughout the boat.
