Travel Log of Felicia 777
Saturday, November 15, 2008
This is a starboard pilot berth aft of the nav station with the wet locker door on the right and hunging locker with the ship clock, on the left. The old weatherfax receiver was uninstalled and replaced with the cellular signal amplifier.We had two medium size people sleeping there once during a passage.


Slightly different perspective is taken to show v-berth space and arrangement. We have two fans and reverse chute to channel wind through the hatch into sleeping quarter. The closed cell foam, we purchased for cushions, are very comfortable to sleep on.
The door forward leads to the chain locker. This is the access to windlass motor and controls.
The is a storage compartments under the bed, and high pressure salt water pump with the foredeck outlet for washing down of anchor, chain, and deck showers.

The mandatory picture of the nav station.
I have installed my laptop in a position to be visible from the cockpit. Right under it a lower part of electronic barometer can be seen.
Icom chart plotter is located next to the laptop and SSB/HAM radio control panel is below it. The radio itself is installed behind control panel, which folds down to expose all the connections and equipment it covers.
While in Cartagena, we have built this fold down shelf to turn single bed satee into a queen size bed. It makes sleeping much more comfortable than in the V-berth on very hot nights.There are book shelves and storage compartments above and behind the satees. Water tanks are located under them on both sides.
Here are the pixs of the engine compartment. The arrangement is still the same, however this old yellow monster, which gave me too much excitement too many time, have been replaced with the brand new (2003) Universal 35. The new engine is about 25% smaller in size and much easier to access than this pictures would let to assume.
The gray surface behind the engine is the front wall of the fuel tank.
Oil (orange cylinder on the right above the engine) and fuel (white one right and forward of oil one) filters are placed for easy access and maintenance.

I took this picture of the saloon from companion way. Felicia has much larger saloon space than most boats of this size. That is a benefit of V-Drive transmission and reverse positioning of the engine, which is placed further back than common designs allow.
Unfortunately only a part of the dinner table, with folding down leaves, is visible. I also closed door into V-birth to have better light without interference.
Keel-stepped mast in the center, and some exposed chainplates on starboard site can be seen.

This is a view of the head. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to see the entry into shower stall on the right sight. I never had a nerve to splash water inside of the boat, so I use the stall for storing parts, spares, tools, etc. I have build shelves for that purpose, but they could be easily removed without damaging water insulation or appearance of the stall.
