The wide beam of the Sun Kiss 47, affords an airy appointment in which
nothing is out of place. The lateral beaming of the coach roof gives a
particular character to the saloon which hails back to the days of wooden
construction with beaming extending from the floor beams. The double series
of horizontal screens offer exceptional natural lighting.
" The overall finish of the Sun Kiss 47 is superb with its genuine teak
woodwork and "solid wood" mouldings. The saloon leads onto the 2 cabins. The
ample headroom of the aft cabins, the uncluttered entry, the double
ventilators, good stowage shelves, separate head/washbasin hanging lockers
and direct access to the central head compartment; all these features
contribute to comfort of those aboard.
" The owner's cabin is appointed over the whole width of the forward beam
double berth, writing-desk unit and ample storage. The vast head compartment
forward is for the exclusive use of the residents. The immense sail locker
forward of this head is accessible from the deck by side-ladder or from the
forward head.
" The saloon, along traditional lines, remains the pleasant centre piece of
the yacht, its spacious living-area surrounding the central table with its
slightly oval lines which separate bookshelf unit above the bar, the broad
chart table, the ingenious electric panel, the clever little touches in the
set-black gallery and the sailboat's numerous stowage lockers
" On a unit of this size, everything must be provided for long cruises: 620
litre stainless steel freshwater tanks, powerful alternator for the inboard
and engine batteries, provision for 110-volt quayside power supply and at
anchor via an inverter, without forgetting the stereo providing music both
in the main salon and cockpit.
