The cockpit is where we spend most of our time while sailing. It’s not just where we navigate Vela, but also a space for dining, working, and planning our next adventure. 🗺 Why a center cockpit, you ask? 🔹 It’s closer to the mast, giving us more stability at sea. 🔹 Enclosed protection keeps us safe and dry in bad weather. 🌧 🔹 Perfect for long-term cruising—though it’s a bit smaller than an aft cockpit, it’s a trade-off we’re happy to make. This winter, we’re upgrading the enclosure for better visibility while docking—ready for new adventures at anchor. 🌅 What do you think? Would you choose a center cockpit or an aft cockpit for your dream sailboat? ⛵ 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
