| Center cockpits are my preference.
Never have to worry about getting pooped. All that water slopping about finding its way down the companionway.
Single handed docking being so very easy as the loop in the aft end of the forward spring line is waiting beside the cockpit ready to be dropped on the bollard as we ease up to it. No need for all those mad dashes for and aft.
Nice roomy aft cabin an oasis from any noisy activity in the forward cabin. Separate entrances are to me a must for privacy.
More intimate galley salon area (see above).
Easily assessable and roomy engine space so should anything go wrong it is easily repaired.
Volumes of space in the engine space for storage. The weight being in the center of the boat where it belongs and not in the ends.
Stern cockpit boats are definitely prettier to look at. |
