Dinette

We changed significantly the project of Dix regarding the deck saloon.
We wanted the galley to be at the same level of the dinette. We thought, from previuos experience, that it is very unconfortable to have to climb steps from the cooking area to the dining table. And in summer, when eating in the cockpit, two set of stairs. Further there is a problem for the person cooking without a vision of outside, and finally the ventilation becomes more easy.
We have two hatches, two cowl vents, two front side windows and two center lateral window that we can open.

The second problem in the original drawing was the difficult access to the port aft cabin used as storage.
By shortening the seating of 90 cm we gained space for the navigation table aft of the dinette and an easy access to the storage, while maintaining the seating for six.

This is the port auxiliary tank under the seating. A lot, a lot of storage space will be available down there.
Before starting to work atthe joinery I was worried about storage space. Now I am worried that it is too much and that it might exceed the boat loading capacity!

This is the BH separating the seating from the navigation table. You can also see the access to the storage.

And this is a global view of the space.

From outside it really feels good!
