| Self Inflicted's cabin is being finished with the thought that for blue water voyaging everything must be secure ... but that does not mean Spartan. Every possible space has been made available for storage both comfort and security are built into every aspect. |
Main Cabin looking forward from the galley.
Just forward of the table is the steep pipe on which the mast is stepped encased in a teak box. Under the table is the sound
and heat insulated engine box.
This picture shows the seat backs up and the table leafs down. |
 |
Main cabin looking forward from the galley.
The table leaves are closed enclosing a "safe area" where food and other items can be kept even while the boat is heeled
under sail. |
 |
Main Cabin Port Side with table leaves open.
The windows are 1/2" polycarbonate with an 1/8" outside protective covering of tinted acrylic to provide sun and scratch
protection.
The two settee serves as both table seating and as a single berth when the backrest is folded down as demonstrated below.
Still to be installed as of this picture is a safety harness to keep anyone sleeping on the setee from rolling off. |

Fire Extinguishers
There are only two obvious sources of fire on Self Inflicted ... the engine and the galley ... both of which would be
entered from the pilot house. So what better place to store one of three fire extinguishers than in the passageway between
the pilot house and the main cabin.
The cabinet holds two Class B and one Class A extinguishers ... sufficient to get the crew safely on deck from which the
sources of oxygen can be closed. |
 |
Map Wall
Every boat needs a map table. A place where you can spread out a full size navigation chart, mark positions, draw lines,
and figure of a safe passage: Where to find a place to do that on a hard-chine boat with an 11'2" beam ....
The solution is map wall that also serves as the sliding door to the pilot's berth. Charts are sandwiched in
acrylic plastic which can be drawn on with dry erase markers and the marks removed with a paper towel and a little alcohol. |
 |
Floor Lighting
Get on an airplane and when they give you the "here's how to put on your seat belt" lecture they always say "lights at floor level will guide you ..." and that part made sense.
So here you can see the salon's floor level red LED lights doing what they are supposed to do ... providing low-level night lighting where it belongs ... not in your eyes. |
