The Passagemaker 40 incorporates a "Galley-Up" design with the galley located on the main, salon level. This provides for a larger and more open galley with wonderful views out the large windows. The construction of the cabinetry is solid teak with 18 drawers and 7 cabinets, more storage than found on much larger boats. There is also a large cabinet under the refrigerator, located just to the right in this image. The fridge is an 8.0 cu ft Tundra with ample freezer room to provision for a long trip to the Bahamas. The range is a Princess with 3 electric burners on top and a good sized oven below.
One of the cabinets was designed to hold liquor bottles, a common feature at the time. This cabinet has been updated with a custom, slide-out pantry which holds more groceries than can be imagined. This image was taken before the floor on the main level was converted to holly and teak.
The galley-up arrangement allows the galley work area to expand into the salon and the salon area to expand into the galley. Expandable space. The settee has storage below. The table opens to double in size, slides toward and away from the settee, and is adjustable in height.
