This is the sort of comments we need.  Please keep them coming.

There is space around the three sides of the bunk which could be made into shelves,  shelves on the beam bulkhead, a locker above the beam and space under the steps.  If more is required, a hatch could be made in the beam bulkhead to access the space beyond it and the space under the saloon and the outside seats is also accessible from the bunks.  Maybe not ideal for the well dressed liveaboard, but the sacrifice required for two bathrooms.     

Compass on the steering support (not shown n the drawings).  The instruments can go on the cabin roof, above the windows or jumbo displays on or near the masts.  VHF just inside the door on the ceiling, radar screen on the opposite side (lots of fog in Peru), both on swinging brackets  .  Binos and other essential bits either under the seat by the door or in a box beside, on or in the toy box.   One of the tables will be the nav table for paper charts, but most of the navigation will be done on a laptop or tablet, connected to a big screen, location yet to be decided, but possibly above one of the tables on a hinge and swivel.  

At the moment, the space under the tables is for fridge and freezer.

While we're on the subject of the 60, one thing stands out to me. Looking at it as a liveaboard or long term cruiser, it looks damn near perfect, except storage in the cabins. I see some in the bunks, but can't tell how much is really there. Enough for clothes for minimalist liveaboarders?

It seems barely sufficient for minimalist weekends.

Thoughts?

Everything else about the design seems luxurious, palatial, decadent even. I don't need storage for my high heel collection (extensive though it is). But do I really have to live out of a duffel on the floor and always in the way?
