Thom,
Why do you eat your socks????? Or is it the proverbial foot in mouth disease
you speak of?

Bull ****! I often have overnight races, and I often spend the week
ends on my yacht. I'm gearing up for the Deepwater race, where we
finish at a resort area, and I'll spend the week on my yacht. (And I
won't use the head even one time.)

Sounds like you're full of ****!

the rest of the boat with wet gear...

we chartered a 38 footer with fore & aft heads, seemed to be OK... but
then I didn't have to work on the plumbing & the boat didn't have
holding tanks.

IMHO use rather than size should be the determining factor in whether or
not a boat has 2 heads. Certainly it's a big trade-off. All the people I
know who are cruising in boats with 2 heads use one of them for storage.

Having the head aft, just by the companionway, makes a lot of sense. It
is where the boat's motion is least, as well as convenient for quickly
getting in from on deck.
