There are eleven opening ports and two deck butterfly hatches which provide excellent natural ventilation and ambient light. All ports are fitted with custom white curtains and both deck hatches and the companionway have custom screens. Cabinets all have cane inserts for ventilation. There is a brass clock.

Storage compartments are located forward and outboard of the settee back cushions with additional storage shelves above to port and starboard. A large cedar-lined locker is located above the forward section of the settee with even more storage beneath the settee.

A clever bulkhead just aft of the bureau has a sliding top portion that can be lowered to open the space or raised to provide privacy to the forward section of the cabin.
