He did specify a doghouse over the galley, though.<br /><br />Happily, the original owners and the builder (<a href="http://geoffdevine.com/vaitses.html" rel="nofollow">Alan Vaitses</a>) deleted the bilges and raised the doghouse a good two inches, so I can stand up while frying my potato pancakes. The <i>only</i> standing headroom is in the galley (hence the lumps on my cranium).<br /><br />There is proper sitting room in the head, but I'm going to replace the flush hatch right outside the head with another small doghouse/hatch combo so that the crew may stand while adjusting their attire.Aaron Headlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936150018996105040noreply@blogger.com
