Shortest 2-headed boat?
- Thread starter BobSail
- Start date
And I can attest it is very different from Austin weird.I've heard of Portland Weird....
Do you think that someone who would ask this question was raised with or has been living with a lot of women?
To move this from the very lowest priority on the "smallest boat" I was looking to purchase, to the highest would only enter my mind if I was going to charter, and looking to purchase the "smallest boat" for that is not going to work out very well.

Well I have three daughters so an enclosed head was high on their lists for our most recent boat.

I know at home the Lady of the House gets first choice of bathrooms. And once selected I was required to modify the interior to meet her decor standards.
Fortunately the house had more than one bathroom. I was a bit concerned at first that I might be asked to use one of the trees at the end of the yard.

I was a two head no way guy..... figured I would convert to a pantry/ great wet locker. However I now love the two heads..... wife and I have head with shower in our forward berth..... head in the salon is good for when company is sailing with us or kids come out for the night..... gives us our sanctuary. And salon still remains large enough..... but on a smaller boat it would cut in too much into living space.

Depending on what you call a head, the shortest sailboat with 2 separate places to do your business would be the Parker Dawson 26, AKA: Midship 25, who built the original molds in Las Vegas, Bombay 26, Nauset 25. If you're looking for something that will sleep 2 couples (or two sets of people) and everyone be able to pee in private at 2 am this is probably the smallest. These folks keep bringing up 40'+ boats, there are 43' boats with 3 heads.
Great find! But IIRC, the heads are sitting right between the berths. So 'pee in private' would have to mean 'peeing in private next to your spouses head'. ;^)
Anyone who has cruised with 2 couples (or 1 couple and 2 kids) longer than perhaps a weekend will appreciate the need for two heads......about one hour after the first cup of coffee there is a traffic jam outside a single head boat.
