Why doesn't anyone talk about the issues of sex on a boat? Are there any issues? Such as noise, privacy, and all the other stuff?

It's something is going with cruising and nobody talks about it.

Kjango -- I probably should have given you a break, considering how well you're taking care of that classic boat.

ROTF LOL -- Smack you are the funniest guy on Sailnet.

I saw the album. Lucky (smart?) guy. (Of course, I'm not complaining.)

My wife and I dated while I had a 21' Victory "Reba's Liberty". The cabin was the size of a pup tent. If you can find a mate who will, um, mate in a cabin that small and likes to sail, then keep her close.

BTW, I really liked the Victory. Bulb keel, and it had a spinnaker, boom vang, big sail inventory. It could fit under the bridge near me at anything but high tide. I bought her from a guy who was moving to Chicago the next day and got a great deal. I sold the boat when I was about to move. The guys who bought her got a great deal.

We really like the C&C 27 MKIII or the C&C 30 MKII. Lot's of room but not something we can live on. We are trying to find a Tayana 37 or 42, or some extended cruising. She doesn't need much room (so she tells me) as long as we can hook up. At the cottage we have a 10ft dingy we seem to float around in without difficulty.

Having spent 22 years at sea where sex is a no - no (US Navy), I personally am all for making up for lost time.
Catmarans rock less at anchor also you know - and just for Maine Sail :

Smooth bottoms are always less of a drag and therefore faster, I require one on my vessel.

Smack,
If you want to get taken out for a sail now and then the skipper has to be happy with the performance.

Now if you've got yourself a fine vintage 70's 'do then you don't so much worry on performance, you've got the style thing going on.

I don't do the bar scene anyway, got tired of being offered the handicap stool at the end due to being too tall for my hair (bald).
