I view this as an unavoidable consequence of making it possible to sail this boat single-handed and frankly we never found it a problem - it just needs a bit of discipline and organisation. We didn't have to tack at all, so I don't yet know how it will work when life gets exciting, but I don't anticipate any problems.
- Location of electrical panel - I haven't found this a problem at all.
- Knee level table - We foresaw that this would be a problem and so ordered a full size table for cockpit and saloon.

I'm glad you like your boat. Sail it awhile and when you get a chance jump on a Lagoon 440 (Windancer for example thru catco in the BVI)
I think you would jump on the chance to swap.
