Designed for long North Atlantic and Arctic cruising, WHITE HEATHER was given her extremely seaworthy structure and voluminous hull form, which gives her interior space and comforts that are normally not found in many (racing) classics of this size, giving WHITE HEATHER an exclusive elegance of style, solidity and reliability, to say nothing of her sea-kindly ride.

Initial access to the yacht is either via the stairway on starboard that is lowered to water level or via the stern passerelle.  Boarding via the passerelle the aft deck seating area, which is fixed to the pulpit, is entered.

Moving forward is the fixed deck superstructure, which functions as an exclusive dining table for up to 12 guests while at the same time creating interior space for the master cabin.  Protected fixed deck seating is provided just aft of the deckhouse and bridge.  Permanent awnings are over the deckhouse and the aft deck dining table, with an additional possibility of covering the entire deck area between the two fixed units.  Forward of the deckhouse is ample space for sunbathing, part of which can be used for tender stowage during extensive voyages.  At the bow is the entrance to the separated crew's quarters.

The deckhouse incorporates the navigation station with a large chart table and seating for 2 guests.

Following the stairs down from the deckhouse the full width saloon is entered.  On port of the entry stairs is the beautifully wood crafted bar.  On port there is a table with seating for 5 guests, on starboard is a dining space for up to 10.  Access to the compact, but efficient galley is provided on port behind the bar area.

Forward of the saloon are two symmetrical double guest cabins both with en-suite bathrooms.  Both cabins have a dressing table and built-in safe.  Natural light is provided through the portholes just above the waterline level and prisms.  The guest cabins are also air-conditioned.

Cupboards, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and the dryer are all invisibly situated in the corridor aft of the saloon together with a separate toilet.

At the end of the corridor is the watertight enclosed machinery space.  The deep long-keeled hull provides an enormous depth and space for all machinery, making everything easily accessible and maintainable.  through the machinery space, the workshop with switchboards, chargers, inverters, watermarker and autopilot pump is reached.

Aft of the machinery space the aft cabins can be accessed through waterhead bulkhead and door.  Two upper-lower guest cabins share the bathroom on starboard, the amidships cabin being somewhat smaller than the starboard one.

Finally, in the stern, the generous master cabin is entered, Since it follows the shape of the stern, it shows a beautiful play of levels and carpentry underneath what is the deck dining table.  The cabin is flooded with natural light, due to the six portholes; placed below the dining table surface.  En-suite with the master cabin is a separate head, through which the teak finished double Jacuzzi is reached.

The crew's quarters are situated in the bow and are accessed only via the exterior.  Space for four crew members are provided with an en-suite bathroom.  











By using a floor hatch in the hallway, between the two forward guest cabins, the tank hold can be accessed.  This space extends below the entire saloon and the forward guest cabins.  This space also holds three 1200I stainless steel fresh water tanks and five 1200I stainless steel fuel tanks.  In between the tanks is the service battery bank, with an ample bilge depth below it and floorboards above the batteries enable ample storage.  Forward of the tanks is the air-conditioning unit on starboard and the water pressure system on port.  Towards the stern is the wastewater tank which serves the forward guest cabins and the crew cabin on port and access to the chain locker on starboard.

The lazarette is reached via a hatch on the aft deck.  Here, the hydraulic steering gear is easily serviceable and store is created for spares etc.

The hull is of 2'  1/16" Burmese teak planking, on heavy steel frames.
