Details
DESCRIPTIONS
Walkthrough
Stepping into the SPINDRIFT cockpit you can see her classic ethos coming through with her teak grating underfoot and simple design. With seating for four adults plus the skipper, she is a perfect couples cruiser. Going down below into the salon you have the galley to starboard, nav station to port, and single pilot berth to port and aft of the nav station. The salon is simple and clean with two straight settees and a folding table being the main features; surrounded by ample book shelf storage, drawer storage under the settees, and cabinet storage on either side of shelf storage. Forward of the salon is a massive wet head- you’ll be pressed to find larger on another 40’ boat! Furthest forward in the boat is the primary’s cabin complete with v-berth with filler cushion and an additional amount of incredible storage throughout. One of the highlights of SPINDRIFT is her second overhead hatch, an optional addition from the factory that is far less common and provides a great amount of natural light and ventilation throughout the cabin.
