Do you use your forward cockpit / seating area?

Those of you with a forward cockpit/seating area (near the trampoline or in place of it), do you use it often? Are you very glad you have it, or would decline that for more storage space next time?

Re: Do you use your forward cockpit / seating area?

We use it occasionally for entertaining, mostly when the sun is shining over the stern on the boat, so there is shade and breeze. When we have them aboard the young folk like to lie in the sun read books etc, both underway and at anchor. It is more comfy than the nets. The other reason we like them is that it is a great place to toss mooring lines, fenders etc temporarily when getting under way or departing a dock when short handed, without fear of them trailing over the side, slipping through a net etc to foul the props. I also use it as a place to lower the spinnaker sock or gennaker when it is a bit rough. Also it is a safer place to be when furling the gennaker in big seas.
