2023 Helmsman Trawlers 43E13m

The large master stateroom is forward, and features an island queen bed, cedar-lined hanging closets port and starboard, drawers beneath the bed (and additional storage further forward under the bed), reading lights, bookshelves, underberth lighting, two opening portlights, and an opening overhead hatch.

The forward head is starboard off of the forward companionway, and includes an enclosed shower compartment.

The guest stateroom is port off of the forward companionway. A double berth, storage drawers and lockers, and a large hanging locker are its features.

The pilothouse is just two steps up from the saloon, and features a raised dinette large enough to seat three adults. Enjoy the view while underway or in port from this vantage. The dinette optionally converts to a single or a double pilot berth. The helm is located to starboard -- the view over the bow and aft to the port and starboard quarters makes docking easy. The helm seat slides out of the way, and sliding pilothouse doors port and starboard provide immediate access to the side decks, the bow, the flybridge or to the dock. In addition to the sliding doors, ventilation and light is provided by opening side windows, an opening center windshield, and and an opening overhead hatch. Overhead handholds are provided for safety, and are beautifully crafted in teak, as is all the joinery throughout the boat. A nav station large enough to work with charts (including hinged storage beneath) is provided -- a feature overlooked in many of today's boats. Additional flat counter/working space is provided to starboard behind the helm seat. 

The expansive saloon takes full advantage of the boat's generous beam, and feels like the saloon of a much larger boat. With an L-shaped galley to starboard, a U-shaped dinette to port (which converts to a queen berth), and space for a recliner or other comfortable free-standing chair or loveseat aft starboard, the saloon is designed for entertaining and comfortable living at sea! Storage includes a microwave cabinet and pantry forward on the centerline, an entertainment center and storage cabinet (with louvered doors, as throughout the boat) to port, and a bookshelf with storage behind sliding doors to starboard. The galley includes many drawers and cabinets, and an overhead storage cabinet that folds up into the overhead to avoid obstructing the view. An elegant teak/holly beam with hanging knees adds a nautical flair and serves an actual structural purpose.The day head (with shower capability) to port is accessed via a sliding cabin door and is two steps down from the saloon.

The engineroom gives an amazing amount of working space around the engine, and includes a built-in workbench/tool storage. The room is well-lit and extremely orderly. Wire and tubing runs are precise and accessible. Deck plates make movement easy. Through-hulls are readily at-hand with cutouts in the deck plates.

The aft cockpit features a full-length cover and is larger than the 38 Pilothouse.

The flybridge is positioned aft of the raised pilothouse, providing a sleeker appearance and a lower profile. Seating is provided for three in addition to the helmsman. A second pedestal seat is an option. A starboard helm with U-shaped dinette is also an option. The boat deck will accommodate a 10'+ RIB. All railings are welded stainless steel, with finely polished welds. Access to the flybridge is via wide stairs (no ladders!) port and starboard from the pilothouse, for exceptional safety and security.
