As can be seen from the above schematic, there are two berths in the forward cabin and four in the main cabin. The toilet and wet locker separates the forward and main cabins. There is ample room round the saloon table for six adults to eat in comfort. The galley is to starboard with the navigation station to port, as illustrated above.
Westbound Adventurer is not a brand new luxury charter yacht and the accommodation, while comfortable, is not spacious. She is however tremendous fun to sail, with responsive tiller steering and an extensive sail wardrobe including a fully battened main. The position of the sail controls close to the helmsman means you are always in control. She sails beautifully and is highly manoevreable under both sail and power.
There is only one marina in the Western Isles (at Stornoway), and no visitors moorings in the more interesting spots so you can expect to spend most nights at anchor. The yacht is equipped with a a 15Kg Spade anchor and a 10Kg Bruce with plenty of chain and warp to deal with every situation you are likely to come across. The chart selection is comprehensive and there are pilot books and a colour plotter.
