Liberty
Her layout in the main cabin is so I am lead to believe the only layout
of its type in F24s. The original owner who commissioned her was a musician
and a dinette wasn’t what he wanted . Liberty has bunks down both sides of
the main cabin. The heads are in the fore cabin and there is no wet locker.
The main cabin is therefore a bit bigger than other F24s. I had to replace
both cupboards which backed onto the bulkhead between the cabins.
The larger one I fitted with a sink. The cooker is on the Stbd side next
to the main hatch. I will enclose a couple of photos.
As for work done.
