It depends how much later you are talking about.  My boat Tegwen, #1141
built in the second half of 2007, has the one panel on the port side.  It
has toggle type AC circuit breakers, a 1-2-B battery switch and blade fuses
for the 12v circuits.  I suspect it was the same panel as used in the C30
around that time.

Personally I prefer to have all my electrical controls in the one place.
