You've obviously never been a cruising catamaran..  Going into the salon is literally walking through a doorway on most... and there are usually only two or three steps down to either hull, and they're much more like the steps you'd find in a house...rather than a companionway ladder.

A Europa style trawler is almost all on one level. It's hard enough to get on and off the boat, climbing the steps would seem like quite a chore over time.
I highly recomend you & your wife take a day sail this summer before diving into this.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
