Arco Iris has a bright and airy open plan interior. The large windows mean there is plenty of light regardless of the weather and it is easy to see what is going on about you from the saloon. At the same time you do not feel exposed to passing footfall when tied up.
From the cockpit you drop down a shallow angle companionway, past a generous hanging locker into the the saloon. The large chart table is immediately to your right from which you have a good exterior view and can see directly back into the cockpit.
Seats runs the length of the saloon and have extensive locker space both underneath and behind. The table is offset to allow passage forward to the galley, bunks and heads.
Past the saloon table, you drop down two steps to the galley to port and a bunk to starboard. Continuing forward you pass two more bunks to the heads which sit athwart the boat. Beyond the heads is a cabin with double V berth. The boat sleeps six without needing to have anyone in the saloon.
