You have also not spent anytime doing any serious sailing as your comment illustrates. The interior of small yachts is a classic example of a design problem that can be solved elegantly or horribly. Very few spaces require the rigor of a sailing vessel. You, my friend, have little to no knowledge of yachting history and design.

Any 'dangers' the interior might pose are minimised by the lack of clutter you would normally find in this yachts. Also I'm sure the hull has been borrowed from elsewhere and has at least a fairly decent cruising spec. Shame about the lack of windows/hatches ...not enough to put me off though.

I'm sure it will sell very well. The only place you could satisfactorily use that interior without frequent spillages or personal injury is whilst stationary in the dry dock.

Even at anchor, in swell, or wind rock the edges would be dangerous. Form over function.
