Dream Catcher is layed out with two staterooms forward, in either hull. These staterooms sport a full sized queen matress
as well as hanging storage forward and book shelves lining the interior wall. Each stateroom has two opening ports overhead as well
as a small ventalation port on the outside wall.
The starboard (right) hull is deemed the owners hull and stepping aft from the state room finds a large navigation
area that houses all of the electronic gear required to make Dream Catcher go. Both the 110V AC and the 12v DC control
panels are housed here as well. Charts are stored under the openeing desk and an opening locker is found next to the desk.
Heading further aft, you pass the stairs leading up to the salon area and enter the head. The head has a standard manual marine
toilet and a seperate sink basin. One of the reasons we bought Dream Catcher is the seperate shower stall located all way aft in
the head.
Heading up the stairs to the bridge deck, you find a large comfortable salon that seats easily seats six. In the salon we have a 17"
flat screen LCD HD TV and a 12 volt car DVD/MP3/CD/CDR player for entertainment. The salon table has two fold out leaves for larger crowds,
and there are two more large opening hatches directly above the table. The door to the cockpit
is located a midship and continuing across takes you down another set of stairs int the port hull.
Forward in the port hull, is the already mentioned second stateroom. Aft from that is the galley. Dream Catcher's
galley sports a Force 10 two burner LPG stove top and oven, two stainless steel sinks, and a 12v refrigerator/freezer combo unit.
There are several cabinets for storage and somewhere near 16 square feet of counter space.
All way aft in the port hull was designed from the factory as a thrid stateroom with a double bed. We have since removed
the bed and installed storage bins, and this cabin is now referred to as the garage. We store everything from dry food stuffs
to our two mountain bikes and Amy's sea kayak in there.
Outside the salon area is the cockpit and thats where all of the sailing related activity takes place. The are two raised
Captains chairs, one on either side, and the starboard side chair is where the boat and the engines are controlled from. All the sail control lines for Dream Catcher
are lead aft and she can be sailed by one person without ever having to leave the cockpit. At anchor there is seating for six in and
around the cockpit area
