Ours isn't same as your current layout, it's almost identical to the layout you want.

Strangely enough I thought I had pictures of the galley from the new oven install. But I cannot find them

Haven't had my coffee yet... hehe. Thanks for the clarification.

When we designed the inside and galley of our boat, we used large furniture boxes to get the layout in our minds and where everything would fit. We don't have a sail boat, trawler that we built, but we did take into factor the weight of galley items versus battery placement, etc. The boxes helped make decisions on space, etc. Just a thought.

Before you spend a cent, find a copy of Bruce Bingham's "Sailors sketchbook"
Best dollars you will spend on the whole refit.

Here's a few pics of the galley in our Union 32.

Wow, I've seen more space in a phone booth than a couple of those galleys.

I've seen a "hanging" counter in a couple of smaller boats I've been on. I've seen the fold up counter (see below), and a counter with one side resting on the galley counter, the other end hung from the over head with room to still slide your feet under the top, if you wanted to use that side for a sea berth.

Making a cutting board to fit over the sink is an easy way to add additional counterspace. Maybe that would give you the additional space you need. My cutting board fits over the sinks or over the stovetop to help add counterspace.

Brent, we are in progress right now on our Bristol 34. Re-doing everything below decks. Here is a picture of about where we are on the layout. Stove will be to the left, larger sink in the middle and the orig icebox to the right which I am installing a fridge unit. We decided on a larger sink since that is an area that seem way to small on the orig layout.

We've already got that, but our sink is for midgets

Beautiful galley! Wish we could do something like this but with our center companionway it literally splits the cabin in half limiting our options.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished project!
