Is it just me or do they really seem to be short changing the galley on these new models? I understand why Jeanneau is going in the direction of smaller galleys but it seems that less is less in this case.

My girlfriend and I liveaboard our 39DS. A bigger boat would be nice (we were close to ordering a 45DS but got spooked by the economy). If the 46DS continues this new tradition of tiny galleys we will, sadly, have to look elsewhere for our next liveaboard. A dufour 445?

At least the SO469 has a traveler. The 41DS and 44DS don't.

The galley seems a bit small. And I wonder about the plastic sink. I was aboard a 44DS last week, and the galley didn't even seem to have room for a microwave oven. I'd be lost without one.

My boat only has a two burner stove! So for me it is "what's and oven or microwave?"

I got rid of the one or two lights that were 110 and went to 12V lights. .......

Bit over my budget, but might work out if I win the lotto.
