Interior Accommodations

Coming in from the cold or stepping away from the heat of the day, Volcano’s interior provides a welcome alternative to the energy of her surroundings at sea. As you step down the companionway, she glows from the warmth of her lovely teak. Cut from a single log, the teak veneers, solid frame cabinetry and teak and holly floors are enhanced by fine joinery throughout the yacht. The newer wood headliner is painted white providing a bright and reflective counterpoint to the natural finish of the furniture, bulkheads and cabin sole. There is generous storage throughout and most cabinet doors offer ventilated, wicker panels. Upholstery is leather and in good condition. There are multiple opening hatches in all areas for good ventilation while the Webasto hydronic heating system gives thermostatic control throughout the vessel

The aft cabin can be accessed privately from the aft cockpit. On either side of this companion way are two berths. There is a double berth to port and a large single berth to starboard. Above the port double and aft is a locker for navigation charts. There is generous storage in this cabin with storage under the berths, several drawers, cabinets (two lockable), a tall hanging locker and good shelf surface. On the starboard side is a covered bench seat. There is access to the engine via a panel in the forward center bulkhead.

The aft head is to port and is accessible via both the aft cabin and the main salon. The surfaces are laminate. This head is separated into two parts with a dedicated shower stall, stainless sink with hot and cold pressure water and deep mirrored medicine cabinet. In the head proper there is a Raritan SeaEra head, another stainless sink, two deep cabinets and a deep drawer under the sink. The engine is accessible from the head through a large opening panel on the inside wall. The head is plumbed for heat as well.

The galley runs along the starboard side of the boat in the passageway between the aft cabin and the main salon. The layout is certainly capable of handling two cooks in the kitchen! There are three large top loading compartments for refrigeration with the center acting as the deep freezer. A bulkhead mounted cold water dispenser from the refrigeration box serves on-demand chilled water. Deep cabinets run the length of the galley along the outboard side for great storage. The galley's double stainless sink with hot and cold running water and generous counter space offer an excellent sea going galley with secure places to wedge yourself in when the going gets rough.

The companionway from the center cockpit enters into the main salon. On the starboard side of the salon is a large teak drop leaf table. Seating at the table is L-shaped and centerline leather covered settees for seating of up to 8 people. To port in the salon is a straight settee. Both the port and starboard settee pull out to make larger sea-going berths. Above the settees are two pilot berths and book cases. There is a lot of storage around and under with a total of 9 drawers, 6 cabinets of various sizes and a hanging locker. On the forward bulkhead is a painting that lifts up to expose a recessed flat screen TV. There are 5 opening hatches for great cross ventilation.

Aft and to port of the salon is the aft facing nav station. The nav table lifts for storage below. This area is truly the navigation, communications and systems station, all the needed instruments, SSB, ham radio, radar, AC and DC power panels and battery switches are close at hand. As is the continuing theme with this boat there is good storage with 4 drawers below the table. Below the companionway and inboard of the nav table are three more cabinets.

Just forward of the main salon are port and starboard private cabins, both with two bunks. The cabins are accessible from the main salon and connect to the forward head and laundry. Each is ducted with heat and have their own thermostat. Both rooms are nearly identical. Each have storage cabinets outboard of the bunks and drawers under the bottom bunk. Forward of the berths is a hanging locker and drawers. Every bunk has its own Hella fan for a total of 2 fans in each room. There are two opening hatches in each cabin. The starboard cabin houses a large floor to ceiling cabinet with the DVD/VHF player and lots of shelves for storage.

Forward of the bunk cabins is the forward head and laundry. To starboard is a SeaEra electric head with macerator. There are two cabinets above, one mirrored, the other with a wicker cover. Below the cabinets and aft of the head is a stainless sink. Also in this space is a shower with hot and cold pressure water. A teak grate covers the shower sump. Across from the head on the port side is a large combination washer/dryer.

Forward of the head near the forepeak is the forward stateroom. To port is a small double berth. Aft of the berth is a shelf for books and the Play Station 2. Forward on the bulkhead is a Sharp flat screen TV for DVD's and the PS2. Under the berth are four deep drawers. Across from the bunk and to starboard is a mirrored cabinet above cabinetry housing the watermaker pumps and filters. Aft is another cabinet housing the Echo-Tec watermaker membrane. The forepeak is tastefully separated by Sunbrella zip covers that give easy access to storage, yet can be shut off from the cabin. This cabin also houses a ladder that gives access to the large forward hatch.

Sail and Rigging

Volcano’s tall rig catches the breeze and her stainless steel centerboard drawing 7.5 feet with the board up and 13 feet down provides the ballast and lift for safe fast sailing. Between 2000 and 2002 her mast and running rigging underwent a complete refit. The mast was removed, sand blasted to bare aluminum and repainted. Compression fittings were replaced and new spreader fittings added. A new Antal track was drilled and tapped into the mast and running rigging replaced with high tech spectra and vectran line. The backstay and vang are controlled with Navtech hydraulics and jib is roller furled.
