The Bruckmann Bluestar 36.6 is a fabulous one couple express downeast styled cruising boat which can accommodate up to six for an overnight.  There is a beautiful, private, owner cabin forward with extra large center island berth both long and wide.  There is a convertible dinette as well as a convertible L-shaped settee on the bridgedeck for additional guests.

Stainless steel opening ports have curtains.  Overhead deck hatches have custom screens.   Overhead lights have red and white light switches.  There are polished chrome tulip reading lights. Fans are located around the boat. 

The head is accessible directly from the owner cabin and from the main salon. There is an electric, fresh-water flush EcoVac head, polished stainless steel sink, soap dispenser, mirror, shower, teak grate, and an opening port and overhead hatch provide plenty of light and air.

To stardboard there is a large dinette with benches facing forward and aft.  This appears to convert to a double berth.  A bar locker cabinet is on the aft bulkhead. 

To port is a U-shaped galley under the overhang of the windshield for a bright cathedral ceiling effect.  Features include Corian countertop, Isotherm 12vDC under counter refrigerator, Sylvania microwave oven, Force 10 two burner propane cooktop with cutting board, two basin polished stainless steel sink and a surprising amount of storage in lockers and bins and silverware drawer.   

There are three steps leading to the helmdeck.  The electrical breaker panel and battery selector switches are here and very intuitive.  There is a door that can be closed to block the stairs for safety underway.   

On the helmdeck there is a sliding double bench helm seat to stbd,  The helm is well laid out.  A stainless steel destroyer wheel and single lever engine controls within easy reach.  A two seat bench aft to stbd has an insulated cooler ice box under with a drain.   There is a long L-settee to port which converts to a double bed.  A removable varnished table is fitted at the settee and a beautiful varnished chart table is fwd.  There is glass all around with sliders to port and stbd, a center vent window in the windshield and drop curtains at the back with clear eisenglass.  There are screens for the sliding windows and for the opening portlights around the boat.
