An Inside Look: Hazel

A few of you have been curious about what life is really like aboard Hazel, so today, we're pulling back the curtain and giving you a peek into her glamorous underbelly.

Known as the " Quart Berth," - This is Paul's sleeping nook

This is the original hanging locker in the quarter berth, now cleverly repurposed into an electrical hub. It houses essential components like the inverter, solar charge controllers, and other key systems that keep Hazel running smoothly.

This is where Paul keeps most of his clothes in the quarter berth—everything is impressively organized (not!)

This is the V-berth, located in the forward section of Hazel, where Peter Darula sleeps.

As you can see, Peter has significantly more storage space here, with plenty of compartments to keep things organized. The V-berth is actually the largest cabin on Hazel, offering both comfort and functionality.

Welcome to the salon, this cozy space features a large dining table, and what you're seeing here is the port side of it. The seating area cleverly converts into a comfortable bed, making it both functional and inviting.

This is the galley, the heart of Hazel’s culinary operations. It’s where all the cooking happens and where provisions are neatly stored for life at sea.

This is Hazel’s navigation station—the command center where all the essential electronics come together. From steering systems to monitoring equipment and the main electrical panel, this is where the magic happens to keep everything running smoothly on board.

Here we have Hazel’s platform bowsprit and anchor platform. This area serves a dual purpose: it’s where the anchor is deployed and also where the roller furling system for the large genoa sail is installed, making it a vital part of the boat’s sailing setup.

This is called a butterfly hatch. It opens above the salon table.

This is called the companion way, it is the entry into Hazel!

This is the amazing hammock Peter has set up for seating at the Helm.

Lastly! This is the helm, where we steer the boat and do all of our navigation.
