Saloon

Amidships in the vessel is the "Great Room" which is being referred to alternately as the "Saloon" per yachting terminology. The Great Room has the flavor of a library or reading room. Long settees with tables are placed as shown in the drawings. Outboard, there are long settees on both port and starboard sides, having storage cabinets and bookshelves outboard. The "Great Room" serves multiple purposes, as described, including the ability to accommodate various cargoes. Storage is provided below the Great Room sole, as available after placement of tanks and structure.

AMIDSHIPS: Presently the central ‘saloon’ is conceived as a large meeting room, with folding leaf tables for spill-over from the dining table above in the pilot house.  If it were desired to take more people onboard, I could easily envision having two bunk rooms to port and two to starb’d, and there would still be enough room amidships for a long table to be placed on center around the mast, with seating all around. 

I could also see transforming the “office” to starb'd of the engine room into a head / shower for day guests.  The ship’s laundry is located to port of the engine room forward, and is probably best left as-is. — Michael Kasten, Yacht Designer
