Captain jay,
I have had a brand new Beneteau 473 a few years ago and it had the wonderfull cabin forward and two smaller "crawl in " cabins in the back....My good friends got stuck with the little cabins and I swore I would nevr subject my friends to that again ..the next year we were only two couples aas opposed to the three couples the first year on the 473 ..so that next year with only two couples I chartered a jeaneau 45 center cockpit and the one returning couple got the aft cabin which was huge and I took the forward cabin which is about the size on your 51 footer you mentioned.. they were thrilled and even had a bathtub... so I need two big mail cabins which is why I mentioned a HYLAS as they seem to take good care of both the captain and his wife plus the second couple .. thanks and please let me know if anyone comes up with another boat with two or even three main cabins as I can always find a third couple to go
Thanks again to everyone
