What sort of accommodation does an Atalanta have?

Well if we start at the bow, there is a traditional forward heads. Behind that there is a saloon, with a berth on each side. Then there is a structural bulkhead separating the saloon from the galley/chart area. Aft of the galley and chart space is the cockpit. Under the stern deck there is an aft cabin with 2 full length berths.  Follow the photos below to take a tour around the inside of Emma Duck, starting in the bows and going aft on the starboard side first:
