If you look behind my sink full of dirty dishes


I cannot figure out the photo, I thought it was a heavily modified port settee but the ceiling corner in the upper right corner of the photo does not fit.

I was trying to figure out what <i>I</i> was looking at! Couldn't place any of that picture. Does he own some other boat?

Sure doesn't look like a C25 galley.

PO is 6'4" he modified the cabin so that he could lay down.
He moved the galley to the starboard side and lengthened the port settee all the way to the cooler/nav station.
I'll try to find some better pics.



My daughter is sitting on the aft-most end of the port settee.
The blue sunbrella covered object is my Sea-B-Q. It nestles nicely between the Swing Keel cover and the settee, I also slide the companionway boards in there.
The modified settee is about 6'8"
The white thing is the jib we just ripped, and my daughter is taking a break after wrestling it down in 25-30 knots.

This picture is the starboard cabin window with water rushing by while heeled over at about 25 degrees.

I thought I was looking at a 30 footer with ample headroom. Pictures can certainly deceiving. I remember the first time I stepped in a C250 how disappointed I was since from the pictures it looks much bigger.

Labarca sure looks good. You have more pictures of the inside of your boat?

Don't have many interior pictures, because of the 'lived in' look that often pervades.
I do have a funny video that I might post, that shows the interior.
