Evening Star is well outfitted for safely cruising the demanding conditions of the Maine coast.
Above the navigation seat is a Standard Horizon VHF Matrix AIS GX2100, which incorporates VHF, GPS, AIS and Distress Calling. Additionally, a remote mic/receiver for the VHF is located at the helm. A SiTex single sideband radio receiver is mounted in the cabinet over the navigation table.

MAIN SALON
The main salon has a beautiful varnished teak interior with a Paul Luke soapstone stove on the port forward bulkhead, large custom teak bookshelves with fiddles and ditty-boxes on both sides, a Chelsea (Boston) barometer to port and matching clock to starboard. The starboard side has a settee and pilot berth, with three huge storage drawers under the pilot berth and “pigeon-hole” lockers above. There are large storage lockers under both settee berths.
The port settee was specially designed and fitted out by Little Harbor Yacht Service as a comfortable sitting and reading area for evenings and rainy days. There are three covered storage bins behind the port settee, as well as “pigeon-hole” lockers above it.
A varnished teak drop-leaf table is on centerline, and wraps around the mast to enable the entire crew to share a meal together. A compartment in the table houses the included full set of tableware. There is a custom teak trash bin installed just aft of the dining table. The main salon has four opening ports and two large dorade vents, all with screens, to bring in plenty of fresh air. A quiet and very efficient Sea Frost 12-volt refrigeration unit is located in a vented locker under the port settee.
