cover story
up the puppies down below, all machinery spaces have been
lined with sound proofing fire retardant material.
Because the vessel is designed to operate in the tropics with
passengers who are acclimatized to the local conditions, there
are no air conditioning units fitted, rather we have the "open air
conditioning" system which is very effective once at cruising
speeds. Side curtains or clears are installed to cater for the
monsoon season and keep the passengers dry. The interior is
pretty austere, while the seating throughout is the functional
upholstered bench type designed by Q-West with painted decks
in the main saloon.
