Raised  coamings around hatches help to keep her dry. In fact she is a very dry boat in all weathers. The overall feeling is that of a solid and safe yacht. 
She should be - the guard rails are high, the fittings substantial, she is 35 tons with a long keel and skeg hung rudder.
A proper teak planked bowsprit for Dolphin watching. (Yes, it is me in the bowsprit.)
There is a repeat control for the autopilot in the cockpit plus a hand-held remote. Wind instruments on the steering pedestal and a repeater in the deck salloon.
She has a spinnaker pole, fenders, loads of warps and lines... all the usual deck gear you would expect.
