Yes. There is a school of thought that says centre cockpit designs below the higher 30-something feet tend to cut up the internal spaces a bit much. And Bash's comment about staying dry cuts in big time when you are only 20' from the wet end.

That said, there are a lot of very happy customers in both configurations. Good friends like the sense of security of their 38' centre cockpit, which is enclosed in a cover to set mobility constraints on / rules for the small child they have on board. Shorter centre cockpit designs in NZ often have (need?) good spray protection ...
