Description of the accomodations
Introduction
​
Goleta Gringo was built and restored to sail and, still, special attention was paid to decoration when she was restored. Security is combined with elegant, antique d'ecor in this sailboat. She is exquisitely conceived and crafted. She has beeb restored as the antique schooner she used to be, preserving her original rig and refitted as a confortable contemporary one.
​
All pure material and solid wood were used -no wood veneer or simulated materials were incorporated.
​
Originally, much of the sailboat's space was taken up by the cargo hold and today it is occupied by the below deck accomodations.
​
The Deck
A sitting-area is located aft on the deck, resembling a small backyard, with wooden tables and benches. The ceiling has been recently incorporated and it was built in lapacho (Tabebuia) wood.
The wheelhouse is aft and follows the same style of the entire sailboat. It is both functional and beautiful. It has a large ebony wheel and a navigation station and an electrical panel as well.

The living-room is classic and elegant. The eco-leather couches add a touch of style, just as the solid viraro (Ruprechtia salicifolia) wood for the walls and furniture. The qiebracho blanco (Aspidospermia) parquet floor gives the antique look and the bronze lamps and led spotlights lighten this room.
The couches face the large salamander crowned by a grantie structure, resembling a fire place that heats this living-room during winter. On the sides, there are wooden cabinets and book shelves as well as the TV set and the Home Theatre.
