private staterooms, plus the main cabin with 6'5" headroom throughout. From forward: Forepeak
chains and rode storage accessible from the forward cabin which has a spacious V-berth with
large hanging locker, book shelves above (both port & starboard) and storage below. There
is an opening hatch as well as several opening ports for good ventilation in the V-berth area.
The V-berth has a filler which has it's own built in storage brackets when not in use. Next

owner's aft stateroom. The galley is very light and airy with ample counter space, storage,
a separate refrigerator/freezer, stove with oven and a large stainless steel double sink. The
main cabin/galley area has a number of opening ports and four large fixed port lights making
this area very bright and comfortable. Through the passageway is the spacious aft master stateroom
which has two separate berths with storage below and a bureau on the centerline. The starboard
berth can be made into a double berth measuring 48" at the shoulders. The aft head is
on the port side and is quite large for a boat of this size. There is a spacious separate shower
stall which can also double as wet locker for foul weather gear. Furthest aft is a large lazarette

for serious offshore cruising. She is currently located in the Virgin Islands, ready to sail.
"Whim" is a step aboard, ready to go, well built yacht that has been professionally
maintained. A sail away ocean cruiser.
