VESSEL WALKTHROUGH
Entering aft from the large cockpit area, the Cherry satin finished woodwork is a very welcoming feature of STRANRAER IV, plus throughout the entire boat, the perfectly maintained teak and holly floors are an impressive optional look as well. To starboard is a large L shaped settee with countertop and locker storage aft against the aft bulkhead, and to port, occasional chairs, bookcase, and a vast amount of locker storage along the outboard wall below the windows. Forward and open to the main salon is a well equipped U shaped galley with generous countertop space and abundant storage and drawer space for everything

Required for long-term cruising. The forward bulkhead of the galley also is where the A/C and D/C electrical panels are located plus the engine and generator control panels as well.

Up three steps to the raised pilothouse there is a large pilot berth/settee with high-low table, stairway to the flybridge, plus well laid out lower helm station with electronics, engine controls, A/C panel. There are numerous storage lockers and drawers, as one would expect from a proper long-term cruising design. Outboard both port and starboard are watertight wing doors to the walk around protected side decks.

From the pilothouse down to the lower level, one enters the large guest stateroom to starboard with over-sized over and under berths against the forward bulkhead. The top berth folds down allowing this area to be used for seating. To starboard resides a hanging locker, storage drawers, and countertop that returns aft to a desk/workstation with a generous storage and seating area.

Across from the guest stateroom to port is the guest head with stall shower and further forward the owner's ensuite head and stall shower. The aft end of this hallway, access to the engine room is through a watertight door.

The owners stateroom forward, with walk around queen bed, offers a massive vanity with large mirror, drawers, and unusual storage capabilities. Large hanging lockers are on both port and starboard sides of this large cabin, and the massive drawer and locker space throughout this area will impress cruisers who want to bring everything with them and properly stow it all away.
