A Nickel Tour of Nine of Cups
Many folks who haven't had the opportunity to visit us or spend any time on a larger sailing yacht have asked us to give them some idea of what the boat is like. Take a tour with us. If you'd like more information about Liberty Yachts, click here.
The master stateroom is aft and has a queen-sized bed, two large hanging lockers, a sink, a vanity and lots of drawers and stowage space. There's also a head adjoining our cabin. Forward of the saloon, is another stateroom with a double pullman berth and a single berth which we use primarily for storage. This forward stateroom also includes a desk-office setup.
We have refrigeration with a separate freezer compartment(Adler-Barbour). I cook on a 3-burner propane stove with an oven (Force 10). We also have a microwave which we use very infrequently since we seldom have dock power and we do not have a genset aboard. The layout is convenient for cooking underway.
The main saloon, starboard, has the dining table which seats 4-6, bookshelves, stowage lockers and additional stowage behind and below the settee. A battery bank, refrigeration electronics and the watermaker are also located beneath the settee. David also uses this area for stowing tools, paints, etc.
The nav station is to port, aft of the saloon area with a chart table/desk and most of the electronic gear including radar/chartplotter, single sideband (SSB), VHF, stereo, battery monitors, wind gen and solar panel monitors and computer. We've updated most of the electronics along the way, but not the photos.
The main saloon has a settee to port with bookshelves, a liquor cabinet and stowage behind and beneath. We use this settee as a sea berth while we're underway. Hammocks provide additional stowage especially for easy access to snacks and fruits and veggies.
