Center Cockpit Hunter

We have sailed a Hunter PAssage 42 for several years around Southern California. I like the roomy interior and spacious aft cabin. Our weather is mild, so we haven''t considered the center cockpit a problem with respect to spray. The increased windage associated with the design as been a problem in close quarters a few times, but most problems can be avoided with some planning before you get into a tight spot. I am currently sailing more on an aft cockpit boaat and think that the motion is a little easier and enven thogh you are closer to the water, you seem to get less spray.

I guess I could go either way, with a slight preference for the aft cockpit.
