DECK & HULL:

SALT is a classic hull form with “wine glass” sections, full keel, cutaway forefoot, skeg hung rudder, and overhanging transom.  The hull is white gel-coat with nice gloss.  A thin blue cove stripe has signature Camper & Nicholson terminations.  The light blue antifouling bottom paint now covers the boot strip minimizing waterline staining.  The hull is solid fiberglass with a grid network of fiberglass longitudinal and athwartship stiffeners.

The deck and cabin are light seamist green gelcoat.  Molded non-skid on the deck and cabintop provide traction.  The deck is surrounded by a raised bulwark rising from 3.5” tall midships to 5” at the bow.  A 3-¼” wide teak caprail is coated with Cetol.  Deck securing is excellent with 28” tall double lifelines running from the bow pulpit aft to the midships boarding gates.  Stainless-steel handrails replace lifelines from midships to the stern on each side, providing secure handhold when exiting the cockpit.  Teak handrails are located on the cabintop on each side.  The aft deck is raised up 5.5” above the main deck just aft of the cockpit doors.

SALT has a raised salon forward of the cockpit with large aluminum-framed windows mounted in the sides of 20” high coachroof.  Forward-facing curved windows are also located in the lower and upper coachroof fronts.  At the mast, the coachroof lowers to 8” above the deck.  The trunk cabin, aft of the cockpit is 12” high.  Lewmar opening hatches in the cabintop and opening ports in the cabinsides were renewed in 2018.

SALT’s cockpit is extremely well-protected making this a true four-season cruising yacht.  Thick Starboard plastic hinged doors open the tall coaming from the side decks into the cockpit.  Aluminum-framed, opening glass windshields are forward with tinted curved sides wrapping from forward to an arch.  The solid overhead bimini has a large opening hatch, fixed 10” x 45” tinted “sail viewing” port,  outside handrails, an overhead light, boom gallows, and stainless steel stanchion aft supports.  Clear panels enclose the aft portion of the cockpit in poor weather or roll-up when the weather is nice for open air sailing.  A curved 24” by 13” padded helm seat is mounted on a removable stainless-steel pedestal.  The port side settee measures 63” long by 20” wide.  The starboard settee is 72” long by 19” wide.  The cockpit sole is teak and holy and unbolts for major engine service or removal.

Deck-accessible storage is voluminous and well-distributed.  Forward of the anchor windlass are two top-opening recessed, overboard-draining lockers.  The spare anchor, rode, and boat cleaning brushes Deck-accessible storage is voluminous and well-distributed.  Recessed, top opening overboard-draining lockers are just forward of the windlass on each side.  The spare anchor and deck brushes are located in the starboard locker while the salt and freshwater washdown hoses are to port.  A propane locker is starboard of the shrouds.  Three lockers are in the aft deck.  To port is a 33” long by 14” wide by 18” deep overboard-draining locker; an ideal location for outboard gas.  Rubber “snap together” drainage tiles line the bottom.  To starboard is a 21” long by 13” wide by 14” deep overboard draining where grill propane bottles and drainage mat are located.  A hinged, locking 27” by 23” guttered hatch opens into a large, “climb into” stern garage/lazarette.  A chromed bronze mushroom-style vent helps this space breath.  A teak and plywood manger is tuck aft in the stern counter and filled with a long sterm drogue line.   The Webasto diesel heater is forward and protected by a mesh cage.  The port cockpit settee opens to access another huge “climb into” locker.  Sail storage, steering system access are also located in this “stateroom-sized” locker.
