The forward stateroom (fancy way of saying "vee-berth) has a drawer beneath the head of each berth, as well as an open locker beneath each drawer. There is also a single seat on a small locker (sometimes called the liquor locker) between the two berths.
Each berth has its own reading lamp, plus a shelf for personal stuff. There are two battery-operated personal fans included, as well as a screen for the forward hatch. This hatch as the effect of giving more headroom, as well as admitting light to the forward cabin.
The generous anchor locker is forward of the vee berth, and drains into the bilge. In this photo there are two 1/2" anchor rodes, plus 12' of chain in the locker.
Note the paneled door to the left of the photo.
A water tank is fitted underneath the forward end of the vee-berth.

The hanging locker, together with the head is just abaft the forward stateroom, with a paneled wood door between them.
It is about 30" wide and very commodious. We have seen a few Wanderers where this has been converted to shelves, drawers, or a combination thereof. Other folks just pile duffel bags or sail bags in there, while we have used it as intended, as a clothes closet.
There are several hooks on either side of the aft door, which gives visual privacy from the main salon.
The head is opposite. There is a large, sliding wash basin unit above and outboard of the head. Above the wash basin is a largish locker, while there is a small drawer just under the basin. There is a 24 hour solar vent in the coach roof above the hanging locker and an opening port above the head. If you need a picture of the hanging locker side of this compartment, please email me (click on the "email me" link at the upper right).

The dining table drops down and becomes part of the base of the port berth in the main salon. That berth is called a double, but probably that is only apt for young children or newly-weds (not to be confused with one another!).
There is considerable storage under, outboard, and above this berth, as well as a drawer that opens into the walkway at the forward end of the cabin.
Opposite the dining table is a 6' 6" settee, which makes a wonderful sea berth, with a lot of storage beneath, as well as outboard the settee, and an open shelf above.
