Same here, although I managed some nicely symmetrical woodworking on

I think you can justify a nice workspace if your cruising plans
include providing a small business service on board. People who do
sail repairs are always popular in remote anchorages, and converting
the V-berth to a sewing room makes a lot of sense.

A machine shop, albeit a small one, is doable on board, with the
biggest obstacle likely power, not space.

I believe there is one cruising dentist who pays for his continuing
travels by tooth care for both cruisers AND locals. He apparently has
the full dental chair bolted in his gutted V-berth!

Now, that's a type of genius, although you'd have to be very careful
about stowage. I have no idea what he does for X-rays.
