Am I alone in liking this feature?

And our Passport 40 has two heads - one just aft of the V-Berth, and a second "Sea head" ensuite with the aft stateroom (i.e. it's literally in the stateroom, in a cabinet that you have to pull the sides and top from to get to it).

Both the Freedom 32 and Nonsuch 30 are aft-headed, as well.

I think it is a better solution for many reasons.

Marty-
I think we should speak softly of Benetoys. Even a certain gentlemen at their US plant has said there are many strange things about their First series over the years. Like, 3" long conventional bolts being used instead of the "normal" long J-bolts in the keels. (Well, I credit them for, ah, innovation?)

[mitiempo]

There's nothing wrong with straight bolts threaded into a keel - if the keel is iron - and I believe most Beneteaus have iron keels, do they not?

Van De Stadt use this idea in a whole bunch of their boats. The womboat has it. Methinks a good idea if only cos it gets the head away from mine when I'm abed. Only negative is that in smaller boats headroom can be a bit limited if you want a shower. I just make it but one must stoop to rinse out the shampoo.

LeBatt.....that little second head in the P40 is a design gem. Gives the advantage of the secong head without wasting all the space of a dedicated compartment.
