[Tiara Open] 3500 galley sink - are you kidding?

[Knothome]

I’m investigating both the 3100 and 3500 open.  How is it the 3100 has a better galley?  (Smaller fridge). On some years the 3500 galley sink is a wonder (e.g., 2002).  Owners - how do you deal with this?  Never eat in?  Use kiddie plates and cooking gear?  I’m not being dismissive, just trying to add a bit of humor.  We can work around lack of drawers, etc but without a decent sink cruising could be challenging.  Have some of you replaced the countertop and reconfigured?  Side comment - we’re coming from a boat with a trash compactor, where do you collect/store trash for longer non-marina hopping cruises?  TIA, Gordon
