ACCOMODATIONS:
Main Salon – In the main salon you are surrounded by the warm feel of mahogany. Lean back in the plush cushions and enjoy the atmosphere while reading a book, watching a DVD on the home entertainment system or entertaining friends. To port there is a large L-shaped settee enclosing a very large table that is wide enough when the leaves are extended to reach the settee on the starboard side. A flat screen TV is swivel-mounted above the nav station and viewable from the dinette. Under the starboard settee is a large storage area with custom dividers for better organization. The starboard settee back cushions pull forward to provide easy access to storage as well as the watermaker. The port side settee also has storage behind the seat backs as well as under the seats. Under the port side settee is a water tank and batteries.

Galley – The Galley is to starboard as you come down the companion way. The galley is "C" shaped and partially tucked around the corner beside the engine compartment. Stowage in the galley is generous with a nice combination of drawers and lockers. There is plenty of counter space and lots of cold storage with separate top access freezer and refrigerator. For cooking there is a large 3 burner Force 10 stove/oven. The sink has two basins, pressurized hot and cold water and a foot pump for fresh water. Pots pans, plates, silverware, cups and all galleyware is included.

Navigation Station – To port of the companionway is a large navigation station with ample bulkhead space for instruments. The chart table will easily take a half-folded admiralty chart and there is plenty of storage within the table for charts and other items. This electrical distribution and monitoring panel is located outboard of the chart table. There are gages for fuel and water tank levels. An additional switch panel and inverter/charger controls are inboard along the aft cabin passageway. Starboard Guest Cabin – You walk from the main salon directly into the starboard side cabin. There are tiered bunk beds with plenty of sole space for maneuvering. There is stowage in a large hanging locker as well as under the bottom bunk. Ventilation is through a large overhead hatch and opening ports. Port Guest Cabin – The port side guest cabin consists of tiered bunk beds, large hanging locker, lockers under bunk and a bunk side table with storage under. There is plenty of ventilation via a large overhead hatch and opening ports. This guest cabin also has heater vent to keep warm on the cold days. Forward Head – Access to the forward head is from either side guest cabin. This head/shower compartment is light and well ventilated. All seacocks and holding tank valves are easily accessed. There is plenty of convenient storage in a large forward locker as well as in lockers over and under the counters. There is a large china wash basin that is deep and will not spill its contents while being used at sea. Master Stateroom – The master cabin is aft and is accessed via the passage between the engine room and navigation area. The master cabin was originally configured with a double berth to starboard and single to port. Adjacent to the master stateroom is the aft head. The sink is a deep china basin and there is a separate shower stall. There is plenty of stowage in the aft head under the basin.
- Lee boards and lee cloths for all bunks
DECK & HULL:
The white hull and blue sheer and boot stripes are painted with Awl-grip. The coachroof, deck, and cockpit are white gel-coat. Bottom paint is black Seahawk Sharkskin. Keel is an external, lead casting bolted to a sloped fiberglass keel stub. The hull and deck are insulated with closed cell foam. The fiberglass decks and coachroof are overlayed with teak and black rubber with teak caprail on a raised bulkwark and teak handrails on the coachroof. A brass rub strip is fastened to the caprail on each side. OCEAN ECHO is fitted with a factory installed hard dodger. On deck stowage is in three large lockers. Forward is a top opening chain locker with shelf and room for fenders, lines and other gear. The cockpit locker is under the starboard settee. There is a very large, full beam locker located in the stern accessed by two deck hatches. All lockers drain overboard.
Overhead hatches and cabinside ports are by Gebo and amazingly scratch/haze free. Six eight-inch stainless steel vents are fitted atop customs varnished teak dorade boxes. A forward stainless steel cowl vent is mounted atop a deck-level water separation box. Many cabinside ports hinge open and are fitted with pleated blinds.
A custom stainless-steel stern arch added five years adds greatly to cruising functionality. A stainless -steel and teak swim platform with pull-out swim ladder further turns the traditional transom into a more utilitarian feature. Solid handrails have replaced the wire lifelines from the stern arch to the midships boarding gates. A Hydrovane self-steering vane is secured to the stern and runs through the swim platform.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
The electrical system on OCEAN ECHO has been designed and installed to provide reliable and ample 12V and 24V direct current and 110V 60hz either underway or connected to shorepower in Europe or the United States. A large solar array with new panels on the stern arch has made power generation a fossil-free, hands off affair. Alternators installed on the main engine minimize charge time and provide redundancy. All major house loads are 24V for efficiency. A 12V house battery and service is provided for the stereo and other electronics that do not accept 24V. A Fisher Panda genset was removed after failure. Wiring, plumbing, and mounting are vestigial should one want to install a new genset.
