Well, I haven't worked it out completely or drawn up a layout diagram to see where things would actually fit but my thought is that the increased room in the pilothouse would allow for a small dinette which would convert to a bunk. That would provide a nicer place to sit while underway (assuming that I can also solve the noise problem) as well as a berth for Dash. It might also be possible to move the galley up as well, which I prefer. There are some other complications to deal with, like placement of the dry stack, but I think that can be solved.
It's true that having a completely separate sleeping quarters for Dash has advantages. But there are disadvantages as well, particularly while he is still young enough to want his parents close by at night. And it would definitely be nice to have more space to sit inside, with large windows and good visibility for all.
More drawings needed in any case...
