As most Back Cove 37 adherents who follow this blog know, this boat has a mid-level galley. It's different and like all things different, it has created a lot of buzz and quite a few questions. The benefit is that the crew working in the galley are part of the social scene in the salon while the galley confusion is out of sight of the guests. It also creates some great use of space which we have talked about in earlier posts. So today we wanted to blog about the galley itself.
The galley counter is made of solid surface material: easy to maintain and very durable. The sink is stainless steel and a convenient hand rail is located here for use when transiting the steps from level to level. Outboard are convenient storage cabinets, dish lockers and a built in coffee maker. On the forward end where depth is limited by the shower wall, there is a short cubby for cups or spices. For refrigeration there is drawer style, stainless steel Vitrifrigo unit with plenty of volume. On the forward face of the sink end of the galley there are several dovetailed drawers and for cooking appliances a microwave oven and a two burner cooktop are supplied.
The big surprise and somewhat unique is under the cabin sole at the helm. Here there is a lift-up section in the sole which exposes a large pantry below. A great place for bulk storage of goods you'll need for the long cruises you have planned.
