Cruise Control
The master stateroom also has an LCD TV with DVD/CD player set-up and while it doesn't have a desk, it does have a well-appointed head featuring a VacuFlush head system, a roomy shower stall with acrylic screen, vanity cabinet with stainless steel sink and a mirrored medicine cabinet. There is also forced-air ventilation to protect the innocent.
The guest/day head situated between master and guest staterooms has a double-door set-up opening to both the guest stateroom, and passageway. It has a shower with curtain, VacuFlush head, vanity cabinet with sink, mirrored cabinet and forced-air ventilation.
Back up the short stairway, the shapely full galley features an almost-full-size fridge/freezer unit, convection/microwave, recessed three-burner cooktop and two deep sinks. The sinks are also recessed and, like the cooktop, feature infills for when not in use to create extra bench space (or hide a lazy dishwasher!). The mahogany flooring adds a nice finish.
The cupboards house a lazy Susan rack, slides to store the aforementioned bench inserts, a garbage drawer and some shelves (some with lips for the rough days). Combined with small compartments above the bench, the galley offers ample storage for crockery and food to cover weekend entertaining and longer cruising trips for small groups.

Anyone planning longer trips can rest assured that the total storage space on offer throughout the 441 would accommodate any extra stores.
The raised (one-step) dinette opposite the galley affords comfortable elbow space for four diners, but you could squeeze in an extra or two if everyone knows each other well. The dinette converts to a double berth.
The saloon lounge also converts to a double berth, making comfortable sleeping arrangements for eight.
A CUBBY HOUSE?
The large carpeted floor hatch as you enter the saloon from the cockpit makes you look twice. It seems too far forward for an engine room entry—that's because it's not. Greg Wright from Avante Marine's Big Boat Centre on the Gold Coast affectionately refers to it as the "cubby house". It's a huge storage space that could hold four or five stowaways—packed without care. Or, if you're in an honest trade, there's enough space for some fishing rods, several tackle boxes, snorkelling and diving gear, a beach cricket set, frisbee and maybe a couple of inflatable kayaks with two-piece paddles. Drunken sailors might see potential for a dozen slabs—make that a baker's dozen... just in case.
