Cruising Sailboat - Cabin

• Galley
  This is the kitchen area. It should be kept clean since this is the place for preparing food while onboard. It should also be equipped with a stove which is securely placed so it stays upright. Moreover, a Galley must have relatively deep sinks. The kitchen equipment in the Galley will depend on the necessity and space available. Aside from the pans, plates, and utensils, you may add other culinary tools that you need if the space allows it.


• Chart Table
  A navigator needs a place for Navigation and plotting work. This is where the Navigation Tools, nautical books and manuals, and some Communication Devices are placed.


• Head
  This compartment usually has a marine toilet, washbasin, and lockers. It is very important for all crew members to understand how to use this, otherwise, the unpleasant job of repairing the toilet will be necessary.


• Saloon
  The Part of the Cabin for entertainment is called the Saloon. It should have a pleasant ambiance for relaxation. It must be well-ventilated with good handholds, or appendages to hold on to when the boat heels.


• Berth
  Sometimes called a sleeping quarter, Berth is the area where crew members can rest and sleep. Install lee-cloths on the sea Berth to prevent yourself from falling off the Berth when the boat heels or during rough conditions.
