You should ask his opinion of the Selene 43

I've been a yacht designer since 1998 and I love the galley aft layout. It's especially good if you spend a lot of time outside. Many take their coffee and dinner in the cockpit which is perfect. Entertaining is great because people can pop in for a cold drink without trapeing through the boat to midships where galleys are usually located on PH configs. As they say everyone converges on the galley and it's nice to have such great overflow space both forward and aft. Nice boat!
Also completely agree with Tad's comments although I have to assume that it fits the bill for someone, or why was it built?
This post and the comments sort of reminds me of the situation where a guy would be fool enough to get on the net and ask for a critique of his prospective bride. Personally I choose my woman and boats and don't give a dame what others think. Cant imagine choosing a woman or boat by committee.

Nice boat, I like the layout. I agree that the wood work is unimaginative and the little table in the pilothouse could go (and maybe it's removable). I also would not want the gate valves, should be ball valves.
She'd be a hard to transport to my winter storage, 7 miles inland.

This boat appears to be divided into 5 compartments. That ensures that should one of those compartments flood, the ship will not sink. Of course this requires the WT door be shut at all times when underway.

The kitchen is directly at the entrance from the cockpit. Everyone seems to have the same layout in the boats I'm looking at, and then I find this Nova Scotian built beauty.
A lot of sport fishers Have been doing this for years. (Aft galley) Coupled with a day head in the cockpit, this keeps the traffic ("Fishy smell") to a minimum. Some day heads also incorporate showers.) Personally, I really like the aft galleys for several reasons. Pass through windows to the cockpit for entertaining, fishermen use, the cook can observe the swimming, diving, fishing activities, rod storage, less rocking while a meal is being prepared, etc.Why do you like the kitchen at the rear? I'm just curious as to what people see as the pros and cons of the having the kitchen aft, vs. up front.
Aft galley to starboard works for us. View is through rear door. My previous production boat had a similar arrangement. Walk in the cabin and the sink on your right hand side. then counter space going forward. Before that I had two sail boats that had galley just as you entered the cabin so I have no idea what the aft galley problem is, actually for me a forward galley seems unusual all in the tint of the glasses you use to view it..
