Subject: Cockpit on M-32
In reply to: Kathy Campbell 's message, "Cockpit design" on - Tuesday - 07/11/06 - 12:47am

The cockpit on the M-32 appears to be the same layout as the Mariner 35 and 36. While cockpit seats flush with the deck and extending out to the taffrails are not comfortable for day sailing, they do provide quite a bit of extra cockpit space on a small boat. If you are making a blue water passage I have found from my experience that they are quite comfortable because they allow a person to fully stretch out and sleep on cushions in the cockpit while underway when the weather allows it. This is great if you are single-handed or a crew of only two.

All your points are well taken Mike. Which is where I keep going back and forth. The boat will be primarily used for day sailing and weekending for a family of four. For sailing I don't like the lack of backrests in the cockpit but when at anchor the lounging space will be great. I'll probably keep it the way it is but I find it good to think about the possibilities before committing myself.
