Motorboat specifications
Hello all,
I'm translating material on various motorboats, really not sure how to express the following. It's the carré bit that's confusing me! Thanks for any help....
La plage avant dispose d´un bain de soleil de plus de 3 m de long. Elle se transforme aisément en un carré - terrasse pouvant accueillir 8 convives tandis que la banquette arrière prévue pour 4 personnes est équipée d´un grand volume de rangement.

deck saloon
The "plage avant" is the foredeck, this part of the foredeck cn be either used as a sundeck or easily changed into a "deck saloon".
Yes, "carré" is "saloon" but this is up on deck, so it simply becomes "deck saloon" in English.
Check out Google images with["sundeck + "deck saloon"].

: Seems reasonable. It's clearly a compound noun; if it meant a square terrace it would presumably be terrasse carrée.

: Yes, of course! 'carré' is the nautical equivalent of 'salon' or 'lounge', so it makes perfect sense to have a 'lounge area' up on deck.
