The boat's interior is fully insulated with 6cm (2”) thick blue styrofoam panels all bonded with extruded polyurethane foam.

An aft cabin with toilet and shower.
This aft cabin has a retractable double berth and a bunk.
The toilets/showers have a cabinet with a very beautiful epoxy wood sink.
Then we descend through the pilothouse, past the engine compartment on the right, into a large main salon with a splendid ceiling hand-painted by Corinne.
Then we find the main cabin with a large bed on the starboard side and a large cupboard on the port side with drawers and a dressing table/desk for madame, who can sit on an articulated stool facing a large mirror.
And, finally, a magnificent bathroom with a shower.
On the starboard side, there is a Lavac toilet covered with a teak grating.
On the port side sits a beautiful piece of furniture with an embedded epoxy wooden sink.
Then behind, a 100% waterproof bulkhead is the sail locker and the chain locker with the bow thruster, four batteries, and a tank for black or gray water.

Breskell underwent major transformations including a new keel and a new centerboard in the shape of an airplane wing.
The deck has been completely redone with a layer of 12mm ( ½”) marine plywood followed by a layer of 19mm ( ¾) red cedar and à final layer of a thickness of 6mm (1/4”) marine plywood.
All are covered with a layer of epoxy-fiberglass.
A cabin trunk has been added giving a headroom of 2.15 m ( 7” ).
After the accomplishment of the northwest passage, the boat was put ashore and completely redone, modified, and finished down to the smallest detail, including beautiful works of art such as the “ trompe l'oeil” in the main saloon ceiling and in the main cabin on closet doors made by Corinne, my wife, an artist by trade.
