In line Galley seeking advice from the more experienced

Side galley so you have room to fillet this!

Just really like the idea of good access to the mechanical and not disturbing the living space to work on it.

Um, I'm filleting that on the back deck LOL

adding HR hardtop to the list.

FWIW, here's a pic of the galley layout that Ann mentions above:



Works well at sea and at rest, no butt belt needed.

Thanks everybody for all the good info. I think I'm going to start another thread on my top 4 and how I'm going through the selection process.

A new thought: I'm a delivery skipper and sail and cook a lot offshore. I seriously lean towards the 'after' galley - leaving a salon that extends the full width of the boat.
2 reasons:
1) I sleep in the salon at sea - its the most comfortable position: Pitching: Nearer the fore-and-aft centre of the boat means less pitching, and: Rolling: you can always have a bed that holds you in if you have a seat both sides of the salon!
2) An after galley means an inline sink and more possibilities to wedge yourself in when cooking.

FWIW, I recently converted my tiny corner galley into a tiny U-shaped galley. Makes a world of difference. And of course, being tiny, it's easy to "wedge in." Still a work-in-progress but I'm very happy with it so far.
