Epaminondas

Epaminondas features a two stateroom, two head interior arrangement.

All the way forward is a V berth double with drawers under and shelves to port and starboard. There is also a hanging locker. There are a large hatch and ports for light and ventilation. The forward bulkhead allows access to the chain locker.

Moving aft is a set of six pullout drawers for storage.

Across to port is the guest head, beautifully finished in Herreshoff style of white bulkheads and natural kauri wood.

There are a sink, shower, Grocco manual head and numerous lockers for storage.

Next, we come to the main salon with an "L" shaped settee, and kauri table that converts into a double berth. Across is a  comfortable berth for relaxing or a terrific sea berth while underway.

Outboard of the seating area is numerous shelves for books and lockers for storage. Above is a butterfly style opening hatch for natural light and air.

Aft to starboard is the functional galley which will be described next.

Across is the chart table/navigation station that includes the electrical panel and electronics. There is a drawer for charts and several other lockers for storage.

The walk-thru to the aft cabin is directly behind the nav area. Along the walk-thru is a full sized berth to port and the entrance to the engine room to starboard.

The aft stateroom features a full width athwartship double berth with lockers on each side. There are numerous opening ports and a large hatch right above the bed which allows a good breeze for sleeping.

More storage is found in drawers under the forward part of the bed

To starboard is a full sized head which has a sink, shower, head, and vanity.

The overall effect with the kauri joinery work and teak and holly sole reminds one of sailing days gone by!

Epaminondas has been the finest vessel I’ve sailed on for 16 years. She made several passages to the NE, most especially Penobscot Bay. We have sailed her throughout the Bahamas since 2002. She is a classic blue water vessel and has been loved and maintained for the entire time I’ve had her.
