Bagpuss was powered by a 30 horsepower Mariner 2-stroke outboard motor, but is currently awaiting fitting of a Yamaha 9.9 horsepower 4-stroke unit.
Bagpuss’ front cabin consists of a V berth that converts into a double bed by dropping the table into the centre section. This cabin has storage under the side seating, a small cupboard on the port side and a small storage area at the front. There is also a 12v socket.
The galley along the port side has a 2-burner hob and grill with a sink/drainer. The water tank is below the sink, which includes an electric pump. There is a 12v socket for a small fridge also. Opposite the galley, on the starboard side, is the toilet.
The helmsman pilots the boat from the starboard side. There are switches for various electrical equipment in the cockpit as well as controls for the engine. There is a convenient 12v socket for the driver.
The rear cabin section has two single berths along the sides of the hull. Inserts can be placed between these berths to convert them into a double. There is also a large table that can slot into the floor of the rear cabin. There is storage beneath each berth and a battery area right at the back of the cabin for a leisure and a starter battery. There is a 12v socket for this area next to the port-side berth.
