Below Decks
The saloon is the main living area below deck. The galley is the kitchen. The heads is the toilet/bathroom. Berths are the sleeping areas — they may be in the forecabin (forward cabin), quarter berths (aft), or in the saloon itself.
The chart table is the navigation station where charts are plotted. Many modern yachts have electronic chart plotters here alongside traditional paper charts.
