Her extremely spacious design maximizes all available areas and offers multiple seating/gathering spaces, as well as a large dining table for more formal events . The spacious galley is ideal for for onboard meal prep. There is also a convenient day head located on the main deck. The skylounge expands the gathering/entertaining space even more.
SARABETH is designed to accomodate her owners, and up to ten guests in five staterooms, The master stateroom featues a king-sized bed, entertainment center, dressers, nightstands, makeup vanity, and his and her walk-in closets. There is also a separate office area. The en-suite master bath features stone countertops, marble flooring and upgraded fixtures. The two VIP staterooms have king-sized beds, wardrobes, entertainment centers/dressers. Both have en-suite bathrooms as well. The port and starboard guest staterooms have twin berths, nightstands, dressers and entertainment centers.
SARABETH can also accomodate up to seven crew members.
Under the flybridge hardtop is a hot tub, lounge chairs and an additional dining area, great for entertaining. An observation deck is located forward, with teak decking and lounge chairs.
Construction/Exterior Finish
The hull is fiberglass mat and roving with Vinylester resin and PVC linear cores. Structural framing is a combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforcement. House and deck structures are cored composite construction. Core material and density varies throughout to optimize engineered structures.
Lamination
Sprayed exterior gelcoat is followed by fiberglass mat and roving with Vinylester resin for the outer skins, vacuum bagged foam core (high density in appropriate areas), and fiberglass mat and roving with Vinylester resin for the inner skins. The keel pad, strut palms and stabilizer pads are resin infused using Vinylester resin.
Hull Structure
Hull stringers, webs and stiffeners are fiberglass mat and roving and/or carbon fiber with Vinylester resin over foam forms. All soles and structural bulkheads are of fiberglass and foam composite construction infused with Vinylester resin.

Systems
Diesel Fuel System
Total capacity: Approx. 9,900 gallons (US) in 5 tanks. Fill locations are on the port and starboard aft Main Deck house sides. Fill/transfer system includes centrifuge, pumps, meter and distribution manifold. Diesel engines draw from the day tank.
Engines and Generators are fueled via priming pumps and filters. Fuel is transferred to and from the day tank via fuel transfer pumps. Fuel is also transferred by virtue of the work of the centrifuge. Tank levels are monitored by electronic sensor, with high/low level alarms, and displayed on a vessel monitoring system display. Fuel tanks ventilate thru a "vent tank" which is monitored for overflow from tanks. Tanks are welded aluminum.

Fire Sprinkler System
The interior is protected by sprinklers that draw from the ship‘s fresh water supply. In the event the water supply is depleted, and without interruption, the system reverts to seawater use. The Engine Room is protected by a gas smothering FM200 system.
- Sprinkler system: The system is pre-charged and automatic. Water delivery is by two pumps; operating individually or in tandem. A small pressure tank maintains the stand-by pressure in the system. Control panels are located in the Engine Room and a mimic display in the Pilothouse.
Engine Room Fire System
Activated manually, the FM 200 Fire protection system is designed by Alexander Gow for Engine Room protection. Activation (with 34 second delay and alarm) includes discharge of gas (hepta-fluoro propane) and automatic shutdown of fuel pumps, intake fans, and exhaust dampers. The Engine Room and ventilation ducts are insulated against thermal conductivity.
- Insulation: The bulkheads and duct work leading to the Engine Room are lined with thermal barrier insulation.
Sound Suppression
Noise and vibration reduction concept developed by Westport Shipyard and J&A Enterprises.
- Engine Room: Noise isolation and vibration reduction techniques are used in the mounting of machinery, plumbing and wiring. Sound barriers and Soundown ® insulation further reduce noise levels.
- Staterooms and Interior: Noise transmission in the stateroom areas is inhibited via "sound tight" construction techniques, acoustic fill in double wall bulkheads, floating joinery connections in critical areas, and isolation mounting of equipment and plumbing.
