Cockpit Features

Cockpit seats and cockpit sole are laid teak left natural.

Six (6) storage compartments located inside the cockpit coamings.

Perhaps one of Lena’s most distinctive cockpit features is nick-named “the dogsled”. This is her

steering pedestal /console which extends forward from the pedestal at cockpit seat height and houses

an on-deck ice chest and storage bin. The dogsled is located perfectly to act as a foot brace when

sailing to weather and as a stepping stone for crew members when moving about the cockpit during

maneuvers.

Accommodations

Lena was designed and built for fast day sailing and inshore/coastal racing; however, she should not be considered a

“stripped-out racer”, as Lena has all the amenities necessary to spend a pleasant night or two aboard should one wish

to do so.

The interior of Lena is finished in the Herreshoff style with white bulkheads and overhead areas accented

by bright finished wood. Satin varnished Cherry is used for joinery trim, doors, drawers and interior cabin sides. Port

Orford cedar is used for overhead deck beams. The cabin sole throughout the boat is teak and holly.

Furthest forward is berthing in a Vee-berth configuration with bin storage space and house battery located under berth

and shelf space above and outboard for personal item storage. At this time there are no cushions made for the Vee-

berth area as this is generally used as a sail storage area. Aft of the berthing space to port and starboard are storage

lockers (hanging and shelf type). Also aft of the berthing space on center-line is the ships head. Interior lighting in the

forward cabin area is provided by four (4) light fixtures, two (2) oval shaped fixed

portlights with polished bronze trim rings and one (1) opening overhead hatch which also provides ventilation to the

forward cabin. Additional ventilation is provided by a Guest 12 volt fan. Closing of the main bulkhead door provides

privacy for the forward cabin/head areas of the boat.

Next aft is the main cabin / saloon area. Forward to port is the navigation area with electronics display and electrical

panel located outboard. Under the chart table surface is storage for charts and the entire top of the chart table lifts to

provide access to a large capacity cooler used for food and drink cold storage. To starboard opposite the navigation area

is a galley area. A manually operated stainless steel pump provides fresh water to the stainless steel galley sink. There

are storage cabinets both outboard and below the galley sink countertop; a cutlery drawer is also located below the

galley countertop. Aft of the navigation and galley areas are settee berths both port and starboard with storage drawers

(2 per side) under the settees, bin storage areas behind the settee seat backs and storage shelf space

above and outboard. The settee seating/berths extend aft under the cockpit seating to provide 6ft 6in sleeping berths.

Settee cushions and seat backs are covered using dark blue Ultra-leather. The top step of the companionway leading to

the cockpit is removable to allow for quick engine access and the front of the engine box can be removed for additional

access. Interior lighting is provided by a total of six (6) fixtures located under deck (3 per side) and two (2) oval shaped

fixed ports with polished bronze trim rings. Ventilation is provided by the companionway

opening and by a Guest 12 volt fan located at the navigation area.
