INTERIOR:

A companionway with hinged teak/smoked acryllic overhead and hinged double doors leads from the cockpit to the accommodation.  A 9” high threshold prevents water in the cockpit from entering the interior.  A teak ladder with two treads descends to the salon area. 

This traditionally built and finished trawler is extremely robust yet warm and inviting due to copious teak paneling and trimwork.  The upper half of the salon and pilothouse is teak-faced marine plywood while the lower is faced with white Formica.  Doors and drawer fronts are teak.  Countertops are fitted with solid teak fiddles.  Solid teak handrails are prudently located for moving about underway.  The overhead is covered with padded white vinyl on marine plywood panels and secured with teak battens.  The marine plywood cabin sole is covered with red carpet.  All interior lighting is high quality fixtures fitted with warm LED bulbs.  Overhead dome lights are dual intensity.  

Views and natural light are excellent in the salon thanks to tall side windows and a sliding aft window.  When desired, teak valence-concealed pleated blinds are lowered for privacy or shading.  A 57” tall by 14” wide handing/wet gear locker is to starboard of the companionway.  An “L” shaped settee measures 6’-6” long by 5’ wide.  A slider pulls out to convert this seat into a 4’-3” wide berth.  Front/top opening lockers are beneath the settee.  A flat screen TV is mounted between the windows to starboard; ideally placed for viewing from the settee.  A movable pedestal table is used for dining.  Forward to port is a cabinet with four drawers and a large locker with shelves.  To starboard is a locker that hinges into a 35” by 25” by 29” high breakfast table.  Narrow storage cabinets with double hinged doors and shelves are located below the deck edge, flanking this table.

The galley is forward in the salon space.  An opening above the galley to the raised pilothouse area greatly enhances light and space.   A 10” by 14” by 10” stainless steel sink is to port.  A large storage cabinet is below the sink.  A stove/oven is on centerline.  A fridge/freezer is below the countertop to starboard.  Teak sliding doors forward/above the galley counter close a large cabinet for dishes and provisions.  Two narrow/open shelves above store spices and containers coffee, tea, and bulk food.  Outboard, above the fridge is a shelf with microwave oven.

A teak ladder with three steps descends from the raised pilothouse to the stateroom located in the bow area.  A teak handrail and rabbited traction grooves make this transition safe while underway.  A locker with deep shelves and a hanging locker are to port.  A bunk is to starboard and measures 4’ 6” wide by 6’ 6” long and fitted with a 6” thick foam mattress.  A ventilation board below the mattress prevents condensation in cold climates.  Storage space below the bunk consists of top opening bins outboard to starboard, three drawers and a top/front opening locker inboard.  Access to the chain locker is through a louvered teak door in the forward bulkhead.  A 42” by 16” dressing seat with upholstered cushion is to port.  The overhead and hull sides are finished in white vinyl with foam insulation/padding beneath it.  Furniture and bulkheads are white Formica on marina plywood with solid teak trim, doors, and drawer faces.  Headroom measures 6’ 4” in this stateroom.

DECK & HULL: 

Nara Kai has red hull with 2” tall beige boot stripe.  The bottom is coated with black antifouling paint.  Paying homage to classic Pacific Northwest wood trawlers the hull sides below the rub rails are grooved in a faux planking style.  A beige 8” high cove stripe decorates the hull on each side.  These hull sides are extremely well-protected from pilings and piers by black plastic half round capping on the deck edge and molded-in rub rails (18” below deck edge).   The high bow is nearly plumb.  Vertical black plastic staves provide protection from the anchor or pier face. 

A 3” high by 4” wide raised bulwark wraps around the deck from the pilothouse doors forward.  A stainless steel bow pulpit and teak handrails on the forward coachroof help are fitted for safety.   The deck and cabins are beige colored with non-skid on the side deck, cockpit and boat deck.  Narrow side decks with non-skid run from cockpit forward outboard of the cabin. 

  • (6) 8” bronze cleats mounted on bulwark 
  • 33 lb Bruce anchor with 270’ of galvanized anchor chain 
  • Ideal 12V horizontal anchor windlass with ling gypsy

The cockpit is adequate for lounging or fishing.  30” high bulwarks topped with stainless steel handrails surround the cockpit.  Freeing ports drain rain or seawater.  A 26” by 21” guttered hatch in the sole accesses steering gear and storage.  A stainless-steel frame with canvas covers the cockpit.  A teak swim platform is mounted to the transom.  The dinghy is stored vertically on Weaver Snap davits.   A 53” wide by 19” deep by 18” tall deck locker is forward to port in the cockpit.  The propane tank and storage for other deck gear is located in this locker.  An upholstered cushion makes this a comfortable seat.  A stainless-steel ladder forward/above this locker accesses the boat deck.  With the dinghy stored on the swim platform, this large space is available for lounging.  Railing around this deck provide security.  A faux smokestack is forward. An aluminum mast is stayed with wire and can hinge down for mooring in a boathouse.  A long boom with tackle lifts small craft to the boat deck and is extended aft to the swim step for lifting the outboard.
