The ones I am familiar with call it an after cabin but they are really
just bunked in lazzarettes with a door. Kind of built for the charter
market with 6 folks on a 35 footer.


Except that the aft bunk on the 35s5 is 7 feet long. Most of the boats
out there don't have room for someone over 6 feet to sleep. Doug
doesn't realize that most of the boats on his "list" have poor
accomodations for taller folk.

I'm 6'6" and all the bunks on my boat are 6'8" and rectangular. Is your
7' length the part behind the companionway ladder or along the longest
part by the hull? .

You won't find bunks like that on a proper yacht.

You can see the dimensions here to some degree.

It's one of the few boats under 40 feet where my wife and I have a
place to sleep together. I could care less what some bozo calls a
"proper yacht." If I can't sleep because most designers are too dumb to
realize that a good night's sleep is more important than making a roomy
salon, then it's junk to me.
A good example of this? The awful Tartan 34 or Sweden 39. If a boat
lacks proper living spaces, it's junk. Period.

My 'aft quaterberth' is 9' long. My main bunk in the salon is 8'
long.

What's your point?
