The Hunter 45 CC has a very nice center cockpit; very comfortable and fully enclosable. One nice feature of the CC’s is the aft deck that they allow. Those decks have many uses.
Who likes (or hates) center cockpits.... and why?

Bill Dickerson was a local boy from the Cambridge, Maryland area. Every year the Dickerson Association brings together loyal owners and we get treated to the spectacle of his lovingly maintained Dickerson sailboats. http://www.nshof.org/23-stories/yacht-clubs/920-dickerson-owners-association
dickerson 36'. local boat that i always liked the looks and know to sail well.
SO our 1977 Islander Freeport 41 is a great CC boat. It has a raised salon so there are only 4 Steps (not a ladder) to get below which was a requirement for the admiral, She is beamy (13'3") so plenty of room for companionways and down below AND I have an actual engine room which I can sit up in. I admit the cockpit is smaller than many aft cockpit boats but still plenty of room to take a nap or relax. She is a ketch and I can run the missen entirely from the cockpit and the visibility is great. With her full keel windage is actually not an issue even with the raised salon. She's a lot of boat for the $$ and while I love looking at new boat porn, there is something to say for the older boats.
