Yes Carl, it is a nice boat if you like a longe range cruiser. I know that especially in the US you build country kitchen style combined with a dining area which gives a nice ambiance, but my experience from living on a similar boat to this one and making long passages, it is more practical with an enclosed galley. The owners stateroom is connected with the main salon and as such a private area. If the crew was cooking there, it wouldnīt be very nice. I think this yacht is much more of a big yacht in a smaller size. Everything is heavy duty stuff and planned to be used 24/24 also at sea. The stove is faced forward so you donīt get scald if the boat is stopped by a big wave, same as the freeze and fridges, where things are not falling towards the doors...
The bridge has aft windows each side and in the door, but for docking it is better to be on the flybridge where you can park her easy as a car..
