Hmm! At least one of the aft cabins (both?) seem to lack the privacy one might reasonably expect on a 47 footer. Would a cabin door be too much to ask?

I love this.
Even though I'm a fan of light modern interiors I'd always make an exception for a Spirit.
Any idea how much Graham? Apart from well beyond my means of course

I thought one was a pilot berth and the other a cabin with the door open?
Might be wrong of course

Might be right. On a 47 footer, I can't think many people these days would choose a pilot berth over either a proper third cabin or a separate shower. But, I guess they don't need "many people" to sell the numbers they are likely to build.

I mourn the loss of a proper nav station.
Even if you have a chartplotter on the binnacle, I think you still need somewhere to spread a chart out, make up the log, etc, etc.
Every skipper needs a desk!

I'm with the other fans of gloomy older boats that have shelves for erasers. Years ago I worked for a mate fitting expensive kitchens. These newer yacht offerings have almost exactly the same interior feel to me. Great photography though, but not my thing interior-wise.

Bright and cheerful newer boats have useful shelves, too! For example, here's the handy shelf next to the chart table on my AWB.

The Spirit had some doors removed for the show. IIRC the port aft cabin did have a door. The pilot berth is aft of the chart table.

At the risk of being rude is it me or is the website a bit clunky? I only say this as a bit of constructive criticism, but on my Mac's 'safari' browser, the website could have been a lot easier to navigate. There's mention of a Bay Cruiser above, but after a few mins of looking for it I gave up. Ditto for some of the other boats discussed on this thread. Am I missing something?
Edit, I've just been back and tried again, where is a list of boats to peruse? I'm struggling here.

Did you follow the link in the original post, or some other random one that someone else mentioned?

Works fine in Safari for me:

Well thats very strange. I used the link on Snooks first post but I didn't get a list of boats as I scrolled down. I got a description of the numerous services Snooks offers but no list of boats. I've gone back just now and clicked on it again and it works fine - boat list present.
Website not "clunky" at all now, my apologies.

Why do all the manufacturers seem to be competing to create interiors that look like a kid's creation in minecraft, with all these brutalist unhomely 90 degree angles everywhere, like 1960s concrete park benches?
Quite separately, that's an awesome photographic capability, Snooks! I hope it's commercially successful for you.

Not all - see the Bavaria above!
However, much of boat interior design reflects household interior design trends. You need to remember that many new boats are not sold for use in demanding conditions, but as floating holiday homes that are capable of sailing from one harbour to another in good conditions. Therefore owners (and their wives) choose interiors that reflect their lifestyles - and that is what builders offer.

Well there is a boat that holds no appeal whatever.
