Accommodations
Sleeps six in three staterooms. Sliding pocket doors are used throughout to conserve space. Starting forward, the entire forepeak is devoted to a chain locker, sail, line and gear stowage and a washer/dryer. Access is through a large deck hatch and through a watertight door into the forward head compartment. Next aft from the storage fore-peak is a head and stall shower/mini tub to port and a vanity and sink to starboard. Immediately aft is the master stateroom with a queen sized bed to port and hanging lockers and dresser to starboard. All mattresses are designed in such a way as to allow two lee cloths to be installed while at sea. The bulkhead separating the forward cabin from the salon contains a 24-inch internally lit etched glass port with privacy and blackout screens. Next aft is the main cabin with dinette to port and two built-in seats and entertainment center to starboard. Next aft to starboard is a large navigation/communication station with built-in instrumentation and an aircraft style double pole circuit breaker panel with breakers and switches in the overhead, within easy reach yet not dominating the living area. Immediately behind the navigation station is a walk-in, stand-up engine room with a full work bench. To port, opposite the navigation station, is the linear galley with over 20 feet of Corian counter surface. Refrigerator and freezer are under the counter with both top- and side-loading doors to the refrigerator. Outboard is a four-burner propane stove, fan-cooled vegetable storage, built-in microwave/toaster oven and eye-level propane oven/broiler. Double sinks and counters run along the inboard side, with coffee maker in a closed and well-lit wall compartment and built-in knife rack and bread boards. Aft of the galley are port- and starboard double berth staterooms and a head and stall shower/mini tub forward of the starboard stateroom with connecting mirror/door. A sliding wall opens the two aft cabins into a single large stateroom with en-suite head access. The main companionway from the salon is amidships into the all-weather pilothouse. The pilothouse has settees port and starboard. It houses navigation and communications equipment, autopilot primary controls for internal steering and emergency equipment. Aft of the pilothouse is the bridge deck, the second cockpit and two chairs. The full-beam lazarette behind the helm is accessed by a large hatch to starboard and separated from the rest of the boat by a watertight bulkhead. A matching port hatch provides access to a separate propane and gas locker with outboard storage that vents to the swim step. Aft of the lazarette is a large swim step with boarding ladder and life raft storage in the transom. Davits, powered by the primary hydraulic winches, are mounted over the swim step and provide storage for the tender and engine, as well as lighting for the swim step area and antenna mounting.

Remarks
It will be evident upon inspection that MAYA is not an ordinary yacht. She was custom built for the knowledgeable owners of Deerfoot International by Walsteds, one of the finest yards in Europe. She was designed, engineered and built to exact specifications to be a true, independent offshore cruiser, easily handled by two people. The dependable, easily maintained systems were engineered into an exceptionally strong, yet aesthetically pleasing hull. The resulting yacht is a head turner wherever she goes and is a joy to sail.
She is equally comfortable in northern climates, with her all-weather pilothouse, and in the tropics, with vast areas of opening hatches, dorades and air conditioning. MAYA cruises easily at 8.5 – 10 knots and has been known to surf at 23.5 knots. She is a “must-see” for anyone considering a 60′ – 80′ cruising sailboat.
