At first I was thinking what they could have done with the "Coffin Cabin" to further the existing ammenities on the boat, but after a few seconds I realized that the cabin would:
1. Probably be used as storage by most couples owning the boat, e.g., hanging storage, drawers, shelves, etc., and suited to their needs.
2. Moreover, as a non-dedicated space, it specifically allows that bit of customization that makes boats like the C-Dory so great, the "Blank Canvas" that we all so much appreciate.
Next step: Perhaps a new name instead of "Coffin Cabin"? Or just maybe the bit of off track humor is a great way to bring attention to its potential in a round about way! (Is this term a standard one used to describe such a space in a boat as this?)
