Hi Dave... The problem with the Galley model is only one person can sit below. While this is not a problem forsingle or solo sailors, most of our owners have wives and family. And so far, everyone likes the 4 berthboat. Cooking outside on a cockpit table under an awning works for most.

As the owner of a galley model, I would have to agree with Bob. The current 3 1/2 berth arrangement seems best. I nearly always singlehand, and if I were buying new and had an option of galley vs 3 1/2 berth, I'd go with the 3 1/2 berth. That fin keeler sounds great, Bob Tod Mills M17 #408, 1987 galley model BuscaBrisas

Tod.....!
Thanks for the input..!....Nice hearing from you...where have you been hiding..?
[Tod's Reply:] Unfortunately, not aboard Busca. I've been a landlubber this summer. Hey, did you know that a Nor'Sea 27 made a cameo appearance on one of the old "Charlie's Angels" TV shows? Yup, it is true. This one: http://www.hulu.com/watch/8835/charlies-angels-mother-angel#x-0,vepisode,1 starting at minute 41:41 and going for a few seconds. It happened to be in the slip next to a boat that was used in the show. Tod
Make that starting at 39:34 and then showing up briefly a couple times later.
