I wouldn't beat the drum to loud about the Big Cockpit. It isn't big.



It's bigger than the one on a new Catalina 34 or 36. It's WAY bigger
than the one on my old Pearson or C&C 32. It's bigger than the one on
my friend's Sweden 39. It's about as big as the one on my friend's
Tayana 48.

Oh, and the the starboard sail locker is the biggest you've EVER seen.
On European models it was a second cabin! Storage is beyond many
serious cruisers...except this boat can get out it's own way.
