Boating, for us, will be more than two people – most of the time (or at least the most important times). So I want to see if we can dine 6 in the wheel house. This may require improved supports below but I can see that being easy. Brought up the large table to see how it could work.

I set it up for four. I have two more folding chairs on order. Add them to the mix and the wheel house can dine six. The plan is to test this out on the first cruise – with table clothe and all.

The table folded down is more comfortable – for people seated on the bench – than it looks here. I think this is a winner.
I really like how Merva is partitioned between the galley and the aft sleeping. I particularly like the way the spaces share the head (the shared head solution is not needed on Euphemia however). So I am thinking I may put a similar partition (between galley and aft cabin) in Euphemia.
