Several designers take a closer look at the past, present and future of the dine-in galley.

Design Showcase: Kitchen Magicians

Van Aller has also put some thought into the question for possible future Trinity builds. "I’ve always wanted to design a galley with a dining area adjacent and surround that dining area with double doors and folding bulkheads," he says. "The doors would open on two sides to the rest of the interior and the other two to the side decks. The bulwarks at this portion of the side decks would then fold out and be fitted with fixed railings so two terraces over the sea would flank the dining room. I imagine it would be something like dining on a Mediterranean veranda."

Indeed, a virtual sensation of the cross breeze and seascape framed by the interior walls of the dining salon instantly comes to mind. While none of these whims may ever see the light of day, of any design genre they have the best chance in yachting, where the sky’s the limit.
