Single Head with sink, shower, & storage; Galley with ice locker, dry storage, two burner stove, & sink; Main salon with table, comfortable cushions, good storage; & comfortable lighting make Encore a comfortable cruiser. Two of us enjoyed cruising, using both Forward berths and Main Salon. We also enjoyed daysailing with two to four guests during our 13 years of ownership (two guests more comfortable in cockpit). Both Head and Galley include hot and cold pressure fresh water, shower in head. Galley cooking was easy with Origo two burner alcohol range and stove.
