Even if you dislike the motorsailer concept, it is hard not to admire the spacious and airy pilothouse saloon on the 331. This plan includes a wraparound settee and table to port, with the inside steering station and navigation station opposite. The view from the helm is surprisingly good, especially in three directions. It is even possible to look astern through two opening windows, but if I was backing into a slip, I d prefer to be at the aft helm station. The inside steering station naturally features a second compass and full engine instrumentation.
Most owners opt to place repeaters for all electronics here as well.
The galley is forward to starboard, down a step and very functional. The standard and optional plans include double sinks. The 106-gallon polyethylene water tank is under the galley sole. There is also a clever fold-up counter for additional working space. The fiddles are something of a throwback, but they might actually keep the chopped carrots from falling off when sailing in a seaway.
