Question; no points?

Just how large should a Vessel
be to give up the space to a second head?

65ft.




Katy talked about Treking thru the boat to the head in the fore area. On
my boat the head is at the Companion Way. I'm never more than 10 ft
away. I don't consider that a Trek.

Your a lucky man Thom.


My boat is 29 foot and I can think of so many things, more important to
me, than a seconded head.

That's my viewpoint, and I'm wondering if I'm out of line?


I think your right.

42 ft. might warrant a second head especially if it was being used to
charter...Under that, I really don't see it as a necessity...and out 32
footer's head is also just off the companionway so there's no tracking up
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.
