Traumerei’s V- Berth serves as her Master Stateroom. Comfortably sleeping 2 with ample storage in

her full length shelves, closets and cabinets. Storage capacity in the v-berth is symmetrical on the port

and starboard sides. The private head has two doors to access from the saloon or v-berth. The head

has a composting toilet that can slide under the sink cabinet to allow more room to take a shower.

Opposite the aft wall of the head on the port side is a "Cubic Mini Grizzly" wood stove. The saloon has

accommodations to sleep two quests, on the port side, outboard of the dining table, is a seating

area than folds down into a bunk. Along the entire starboard side of the saloon is shelving and cabinets

for storage, with one bench seat that pulls out into a bunk. The after end of the cabin is the galley and

Traumerei's nav table/ office area. The port side pipe berth has been converted into another storage

area. The saloon and galley is heated by an "Espar" diesel fueled heater.

 

In the galley there is a single basin sink large enough to wash pots and pans with pressurized hot water.

(Pump replaced 2018.) Storage is ample with cupboards all the way around. There is a "shipmate"

stainless steel 2 burner propane stove with oven. The refrigerator is a seafrost unit that

can be powered by the engine or ships batteries.
