Why do boat builders insist on putting TWO toilets/heads in a boat as small as 32'? C'mon, how many 400 square foot apartments/houses on land have two bathrooms?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607936175624677644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266108914902271629.post-42201553234634066182015-07-30T13:58:14.754-07:002015-07-30T13:58:14.754-07:00I couldn't agree more - but its worse than jus...I couldn't agree more - but its worse than just the rollers. Large numbers of boats have no proper samson posts to tie off anchor ropes or chain. I have seen large yachts with just a cleat through bolted to the deck - totally hopeless when it comes to blow hard at anchor. But lets face it, whats happened to real sailors and sailing, many just travel from one marina to the other and never anchor anywhere, others never leave their mooring to overnight anywhere - its the yacht as plastic caravan age we live in. <br />I carry 30 fathoms of chain in my primary anchoring system and tie it off to a samson post that is bolted at deck level and where the post meets the yachts stem - nothing extraordinary about that - but unfortunately less common these days. I always try and anchor so that I am never in a direct down wind line from anyone - you just can't rely on other people having the correct anchoring gear.
