Morning Star in slip at Marina Palmira, La Paz, BCS, Mexico
(Note: we now have an awning from the mast to the forestay. Not shown are side curtains that are porous and are put on by zippers.)We also have full cockpit enclosure that is a screen, such that the cockpit can be fully enclosed, but still have air flow.

In this photo you can see the large foredeck hatch that is over the "V" berth in the forward cabin. This hatch and the one over the main saloon allow cooling breezes to flow through the boat. Each bunk has a cooling fan and a personal goose neck reading lamp. The boat is equipped with 11 teak housed florescent 12 volt lights that have two switchable intensities. The one over the nav station and galley also have a red florescent tube to preserve night vision. These 12 volt florescent lights greatly reduce the battery drain and allow our solar panels to keep the batteries charged. We have installed small floor lights like those used in airplanes to light the walkway.
