Very nicely done! She's the perfect size for singlehanding, and nicely laid out for living aboard, although I would prefer a reverse layout.
The only negative I could see is that it looks like emptying the wc might be a bit of a faff getting the cassette out through that cupboard. Oh, and a larger water tank would be nice, space allowing (I do love my showers).
I wonder what sort of cruising range the batteries give, or if the generator needs to be kept running?

[@ABNBBoatBrokerage]

Thank you - she is a great little boat. I have spoken to the boatbuilder and he says that she was designed to run for around 8-10 hours before the generator would need to kick in. The solar panels of course help to charge batteries, so on a sunny day that would help. The journey from Crick to North Kilworth the other day (about 4 hours), used 59%. Hope that helps.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Thank you! Yes, that is good to know - now if they just make a reverse layout one...

[@ABNBBoatBrokerage]

@@lapsedluddite3381 She is sort of reverse layout, in that, you walk down into a seating area, but you are right, the galley at the aft would be great. Ovation Boats will build a boat to your own specification if you get in touch with them :)
