Sea Wings is the very pampered yacht of a retired naval aviator who has spared no expense in its care and maintenance. H O Penn, the local Cat rep, has performed all of the engine maintenance, including of course the annual commissioning and winterization. Off season, Sea Wings has been stored out of the water under a custom built cover. Sea Wings was featured in the Grand Banks owners' magazine, "Spray," and those photos are attached.

Accommodations
Forward is a queen berth, lowered 6", with a custom built queen mattress and designer comforter for the berth. The stateroom features a custom teak door into the shower from the master suite, abundant storage, and light and ventilation from the overhead hatch and two opening ports. The guest stateroom with over and under bunks is aft and to port, and also has an overhead hatch and opening port; while opposite is the large head with a Vacuflush toilet and separate shower stall. Aft is the galley and dinette area: the fully equipped galley is to port, and the L-shaped settee with a custom teak hi-lo dining table with a maple inlay and leaves to starboard. The settee converts to a double berth with custom modified cushions that enhance comfort when converted to a berth. There is air conditioning throughout, teak bulkheads in lieu of formica, a teak and holly sole, and designer fabrics on all settees, bunks, curtains, and accent pillows. Up three steps to the air conditioned helm deck: There is a bench seat at the helm, with a matching bench seat to port. Aft of the port bench is an extended L-settee (which converts to a double berth) and opposite is a straight settee with an end-table under which is an icemaker. Additionally there is a custom teak table, also with leaves, at the helmdeck L-settee, and custom teak valances above the side windows in the helmdeck to conceal the curtain track. To keep the bugs out, there are screens for the side helmdeck window sliders (screens are standard below deck). Two steps down is the cockpit with the Grand Banks custom designed L-settee to port and the transom door to the swim platform to starboard.
