I have the M31 w/cockpit coamings and like them as they provide back support and a tiny bit of a wind break. They also hold A LOT more water if you're pooped which makes me a tad nerveous on rougher days. I think it's a toss up and has more to do w/what you get used to. I sail w/a friend who has a Catalina. When stearing my boat from atop the worm gear box (my favorite position), he gets freaked out because he's so exposed. I LOVE it because you can see everything. Seems a matter of preference.

During a long passage through gales, I was amazed at how dry the cockpit stayed. The few times she did get pooped, the standard two drains worked real well. I believe the overall design of the boat lends itself to this.

The coamings are great as back rests, and with cockpit cushions become downright comfortable.
