Twin aft matchboxes at that size!

Aft matchboxes?

Read the post. At 40 odd ft there is loads of space for 2 v sensible aft cabins. Modern boats don't have tight little bums like twisters, this is why they go downwind nicely and have lots of space!!

Re: Aft matchboxes?

I think you may be confusing "double mattress with a door" with "cabin". A cabin implies standing headroom and floor space, a hanging locker, stowage in draws, portholes and/or skylights, and a writing desk. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here is a cabin! Here is the modern equivalent. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

For genuine aft cabins it won't be long before one of the catamaraners pops up and says "What you really need is a 30 foot cat".

But on the subject of big old caravans, I'm quite partial to the Oceanis 411. No deckhouse though.

Fair call. On my little 39 footer I don't have a writing desk, neither does the other aft cabin and you can only stand upright if you are under 6ft 3ins. Such is life and as has been pointed out on a catamaran even a 25 footer would have these. Sadly peeps who own them probably can't write but then they are usually sailing so fast they would have missed the post anyway!

[/ QUOTE ] Dehler won't let me see it unless I tell them all about myself. So for others in the same position, here is another nearly-modern equivalent. A 6 foot person can stand up in it, just, but I've taken to wearing a hat all the time while down below because I'm forever barking the top of my head on the bulkheads.

Looks a bit like a normal teenager's bedroom to me!
