Interior accommodations 

The interior accommodation space of MITERENE is long on stowage, comfort, quality joinery, and elegance. One proceeds down six steps from the center cockpit to the very light and single level interior. From the companionway ladder, one steps down to the salon/galley. The companionway ladder is in itself a work of fine furniture; built of solid walnut it has six wide treads with inlaid Tread master teak colored non-skid. This ladder has cutout handholds in the side boards. For engine access either the lower two steps or the entire companionway can be slid out of the way to access the front of the main engine and primary fuel filters. The engine gage and alarm panel is beneath the first step. A hinged kick plate lifts to access the 24V battery selector switch, emergency 12V house to start crossover switch, the hydraulic power breaker, and manual pull for the engine room Halon extinguisher. Leather strips are glued onto the companionway ladder bottom allowing it to slide along the cabin sole without scratching. A removable storage bin for hatch boards and pump handles is located to starboard and a trash bin to port of the companionway. The galley is immediately to port of the companionway ladder. The countertop is beige Corian. From forward to aft, a large counter sits atop the front-loading refrigerator. Outboard is the gimbaled Force 10 LPG stove front-loading with oven and broiler. Beneath the deck edge, dish cabinets flank the stove. A spice rack and overhead florescent light are above and outboard of the stove. Pan storage is in a cabinet beneath the stove and five utensil drawers are forward of the stove. Along the aft edge of the galley is the deep double stainless-steel sink. This sink drains directly overboard through a Marelon through hull fitting and 1 1/2” hose. A Scandvik single lever faucet supplies fresh water to the sink. A separate spigot is supplied by a manual fresh water foot pump. Above the sink are two varnished walnut cup racks and microwave oven. A cabin fan, two overhead spot lights and two 110V outlets with GFI keep the galley lit and powered. Two louvered doors access a large storage cabinet beneath the sink. A trash bin with hinged lid and lift out canvas liner is inboard against the companionway ladder. The navigation station is to starboard of the companionway. A large, slightly angled chart table hinges open to access a top loading, stainless steel lined freezer. The fridge and freezer control/displays are mounted below this pane A 12V outlet is located at this shelf for charging batteries or powering portable electronics. A flex-arm light can swing over the chart table for illuminating charts or laptops at night.  Outboard along the starboard hull side, beneath the deck edge, mounted in a hinged panel are the tank gages, inverter remote control, VHF radio, B&G multi, GPS/plotter, and corrosion monitor. This panel hinges down to easily access wiring for this equipment. The 12V DC distubution panel is further aft.  A digital thermometer for the freezer and 110V GFI outlet is mounted below the chart table. The Trace inverter/charger is mounted beneath the nav seat. The main salon is set apart from the galley and navigation station by half height bulkheads. Headroom is generally 6’5” through the boat as proffered by the hull’s moderate freeboard and coach roof. Immediately evident is the furniture-quality, wood joinery. Bulkheads and flat surfaces are book matched maple in a satin finish. Trim is solid walnut. Cabinet and cabin doors are louvered, raised panel and of solid walnut. All walnut trim and doors are varnished. Cabinet doors are fitted with “push to close” latches for easy opening and secure latching. The cabin sole is of ½” thick solid maple on top of marine plywood. All drawers have solid maple sides dovetailed to walnut faces. All lockers are completely finished on the inside with white laminate. The overhead is white laminate secured with walnut battens. Ample chrome fixture area and task lights with wall switches are located in each space. Many of the overhead spot lights are on dimmer circuits for extra control. 110V outlets, red night lights along the sole, cabin fans, and opening ports and hatches are found throughout the interior.

Storage on MITERNE is simply amazing; better than any other boat of this size range.  Few and far between are the boats that actually have enough storage space on deck and below for all the gear, spare parts, clothes, toys, books, and other belongings most families enjoy and need. Designer Robert Perry wisely chose to provide copious hanging lockers, storage cabinets, drawers, bins, and other spaces instead of building the salon and staterooms all the way to the hull sides.  Starting forward is a storage/guest cabin with convertible single/double berth with access to the chain locker.

Next aft is the guest stateroom with a double pullman berth to port, ensuite head to starboard and large storage locker aft to starboard. The main salon has a dinette to port and a straight settee to starboard. A passageway leads aft along the starboard side with lockers outboard and access to the walk-in engine room inboard. The master stateroom is accessed through the starboard side passageway. A curved, walnut-trimmed opening in the companionway bulkhead partitions the nav station from this corridor. Outboard and forward is a large locker housing the Splendide clothes washer/dryer.  Inboard and above the engine room door are the main 120-volt AC and 24-volt electrical switch/gage distribution panel. Below this is the engine room door stooping below the cockpit sole where headroom is 4’ 5” to the port side, outboard of the cockpit where headroom is 6’ 5”. The removable sole panels are topped with black rubber Lonseal. Three 24V lights and one 110V light illuminate the mechanical space and an extraction fan helps cool and remove and vapors. Besides mechanical and electrical components, one will find the central vacuum cleaner and coat hooks mounted on the forward bulkhead. A solid walnut louvered/raised panel door at the aft end of the passageway provides privacy for the master stateroom.

To starboard and forward, beneath the side deck are two hanging lockers. A steel combination lock safe is built into the aft hanging locker.  Further aft is a cabinet with two deep shelves.  The double berth measuring 56” wide by 78” long is on centerline and aft with a custom Temperpedic mattress.  Storage below the bunk consists of two top opening bins aft, a large cabinet access through louvered double doors, and eight drawers of varying sizes. Two bookshelves are at the head of the berth with a 110V GFI plug on the starboard side. A multi Nav display and stateroom air conditioning control are flush mounted to port of the berth. Two stereo speakers are flush mounted in the white laminate overhead. A walnut-trimmed, oval mirror is mounted on the forward bulkhead. The ensuite head is to port with stall shower forward. The ensuite aft head has a solid walnut raised panel/louvered door provides privacy. As with the forward head finish in this compartment is white laminate with varnished walnut trim. The lavac head and separate shower stall are forward. A Scandvik shower on a 4’ hose and single lever mixer valve allow for showering/rinsing. A shower curtain divides this area from the rest of the space. A fiberglass shower pan with white plastic starboard grating collect shower water to improve drainage of this shower stall. A green marble counter tops two storage cabinets and two drawers. A Scandvik stainless steel sink sits aft in this counter. A fresh water foot pump and hot/cold Scandvik faucet supply water to the sink. This sink and the shower stall drain to the aft sump box located in the Engineroom. Two overhead dome lights and a bar light over the mirror illuminate this space at night.  110V GFI outlet and cabin fan power and cool this space.  MITERNE is a warm comfortable a well thought out living space.
