My 85 Jeanneau has an aft head, as do MOST if not ALL Jeanneaus since this time frame have aft heads. There are a few that have forward heads, ie the JOD 35 and the newest 1D racer the SF3200.

Beneteau's cruising line for the most part are aft headed, with the First series, more race oriented are forward head designed. The forward head for what ever reason, seem to be done for a combo of balance, and this also allows two berth/staterooms aft, where sleeping at sea while racing is better.

Reality is, plenty of boat 20yrs and newer with aft heads.
