Inside New Horizon

Below are a few pictures of the inside of our 46 foot trawler. The first picture shows the main salon looking aft to our master stateroom, with walk around queen bed. After struggling with previous boats' V-berths and beds that had to be made up every night and taken apart the next morning, this was my dream come true. There is even a washer/dryer under the stairs to the left as you go into our bedroom.


The next photo is looking forward to the galley. You can see why it is going to be difficult to replace the refrigerator. The huge winshield provides lots of light and the center section opens up for ventilation, besides the two opening side doors. The lower steering station is located in the main salon, but we rarely use it, since we prefer to drive from the flybridge where the visibility is so much better.


The last picture is of the galley (notice the small refrigerator under the dining settee) and forward stateroom that we call 'the shed' since it is used mainly for storage. Both of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms aka heads. The hanging bungee cords are used to secure the fridge doors so all our food doesn't come flying out while motoring under way.


I am also including a picture of the sun deck, since this is where we spend most of our time. It is protected from the sun and even most rain storms. It is also where we keep our bicycles, gear for the windsurfer and sailing dinghy, and of course most important of all, Dave's tools. There is a huge 'wet bar' out here, that most people use for liquor and entertainment supplies, but ours is thankfully filled with spare parts and tools.


New Horizon may be a 1984 boat, but she is homey and her inside wood is gorgeous. We definitely couldn't be more comfortable than this!
