I prefer a head along the center line. A little tighter is better
than too much room. Leg space is also great.

This comes from too many attempts to get the foul weather pants, and
undergarments down and back up in the head in rough conditions.

Make sure the raw water pick up is located as close as possible to the
bottom of the hull. Too many boats have a head that can only be used
on one tack. Heaving -to to use the head is a pain.

I too have always thought that centerline orientation is best for the head.
Unfortunately, I've never seen a smaller-to-moderately sized boat where this
works. Of course, one could always make the head the focal point of the
boat, but most visitors would find it odd.
