A photo of my Malahini completed last September. I will send some better pics in the water this spring.

The cockpit layout, which has proven to be very good, except I should have made the walk-through four-inches wider. It is difficult to kneel down when accessing the bow storage compartment, which holds the homemade cockpit cover and auxiliary gas can.

The under-deck storage compartments. The mid hatches are fitted out to hold fenders, docking lines, cooler, waste container, fire extinguisher, etc. The aft hatches give access to the fuel tank, battery, bilge pumps, general storage and the auxiliary electrical panel with battery manual switch, pump fuses and hour-meter. The bottom of the back seat is hinged for storage under it with racks for the boat hook, boarding pole, and cockpit cover support.
