that a salon typically means settee and/or table, galley, and the

it's sometimes separated from the pilot house, and as mentioned,
sometimes
on a separate level (even if only different by 6").

No clue on dog house, but my wife says I live there. And I have no
clue on
what a deck saloon is ...is that just a cooler of beer?

You might be right. However, I am building a pilothouse sloop and it's
not raised. I would not call it a wheel house, but I think of wheel
houses as being raised as well. I think of wheel houses as somthing on
a larger commercial boat whereas a pilothouse might be on a smaller
workboat or a recreational craft. That is certainly not a qualified
definition, however.
