Interior Layout
The interior layout is unique to Malua with
openness and functionality in mind. There are strategic stainless
steel handholds to move about the vessel in any sea state. The
lateral galley and adjacent dining area are open and together. The
saloon is part of the navigation area yet separated so that the skipper
can sit at the chart table while others are around the dining
table. The main toilet doubles as the wet area and is next to the
companionway while the second head is off the main cabin which is part
of the workshop. A double cabin in the stern, perfect for family
or crew and a separate quarter berth completes the layout. All
bunks have European styled inner spring mattresses.
