"Natu" is a beautiful performance cruiser with excellent speed capabilities and exceptional handling characteristics. The deck layout is very efficient with wide side decks, and a roomy cockpit with large new blue dodger providing great protection. A stainless steel radar arch is mounted over the transom. A spare propane tank, a Magma kettle propane barbeque, and an outboard motor/Life Sling hoist are attached to the arch which can also serve as a bicycle rack for two.

The enclosed head with shower and sink is just aft and to port, and a hanging locker to starboard. Going aft is the spacious salon with a lounge and dinette to port, the table custom designed on two hydraulic supports to serve as a massage table which also folds out to a double wide teak surface seating 6-8 all around. A settee is to starboard with a bulkhead mounted Faball diesel heater providing cheery warmth. Its removable diesel tank is stored on the upper shelf of the hanging locker just forward of the bulkhead. Hull side shelves with sliding doors and lockers under both settees provide for a lot of storage.A huge U-shaped galley is just aft of the settee. The galley has a double stainless sink, two burner propane stove with oven, two built-in ice boxes with pump outs, pressure hot and cold water with a Wolter’s on demand propane heater (available but not presently installed). Hull side shelf, pull out bin, five drawers and under sink cabinet provide storage.
