What is forward of the heads? It looks like a solid bulkhead. I personally found that having two heads on an owner designed smaller
boat is a bit of a waste. For a charter/owner
boat it's a good idea. But for an owner, who 90% of the time doesn't have guests, I would opt for a larger
head on the starboard side placed further forward to allow the expansion of the starboard
cabin and a more usable
head space with a larger dedicated
shower. I'd rather have one really nice head than two cramped ones. I found even when I had guests on board our
PDQ 36 they liked having a
single larger head. For the forward compartments, if they have inside access port the best I've seen are
water tight access doors. It allows the
security of a solid bulkhead plus the convenience of inside
storage.
Port forward I would put a multipurpose space which would be a workshop/office. Just about every cruiser out there has to make his own modifications to make a "garage workshop" in one of their rooms to accomodate tools and working needs. Its odd how so many people who design boats don't realize that the boats are constantly needing
repair and a good toolshop. In that room ventilation and
lighting are key, a desk/work platform with an opening side window would be very nice. In the central hulls on both sides I would put
storage lockers.
The hulls might want additional ventilation and
lighting forward of the staterooms in the form of additional and/or larger side
ports. Top hatches seem to let in more heat than they remove but the one over the aft births is really a good idea for air flow and comfort when sleeping at night. Last a small overhang of the
cabin top to help prevent
leaks and reduce the heat gain.
I think it will be a good seller, there's a real need for a boat that's easy to
cruise for empty nesters (retirees with grown up kids).
