The cockpit on SPIRIT is fully enclosed with a sturdy dodger and Bimini. With Strataglass installed this enclosure serves to extend the season in the Northeast, or with screens installed will make good sun protection in the tropics. One of the features of a center-cockpit design is the secure feeling it provides for the helmsman and passengers, sailing from a raised, central position. Down below, to port at the foot of the companionway stairs, is a passageway that leads to the aft cabin. An attached en suite head includes a separate shower stall and tub, stainless steel sink, a Raritan manual marine toilet, and plenty of storage. The master cabin is well-lit and ventilated by overhead hatches and opening portlights with plenty of headroom. Features a large bed with a custom mattress.

The main salon has long settees that can serve as berths on either side of a fixed table. The mast is stepped through the table, an efficient time-proven design that allows the mast and table to be used as a brace in heavy seas. The galley features a U shape design at the foot of the companionway stairs to starboard. It includes a two-burner propane stove/oven, Sea Frost refrigerator/freezer, GE Microwave, double stainless-steel sink with ample counter and storage space.
