fwd cabin------- Passion killer ??

[clyst]

Why do people sleep in the fwd cabin,unless thats the only one available, 'cos Surely the inherented shape of it curtails amourous nocturnal activities

. Fortunately there are yachts with aft cabins.

@cos SWIMBO likes the fwd cabin and hates it when she dosn't get her own way and That is a passion killer

Don't you believe it !

Also was once discovered head to head in a forecabin 'V' berth; nowhere near as bad as the 'Y' shaped coffin an ex-girlfriend is destined for !

Dun't know but at anchor fwd cabin is noisy, aft cabin gets slap if you have scoop stern so saloon is best.Night sailing stern cabin is noisy with autopilot,engine etc.

Forecabin Preferred

.... aft cabin gets slap ....

... and tickle.

Seriously tough, if one can be serious about locations for yacht bonking exploits , the forecabin has always been a preference. Most aft cabins on the size of yacht I have sailed (28 to 40 feet) always have some claustrophobic feature e.g. the underside of the cockpit sole protruding into the head space, the base of a cockpit locker, half an engine room. Saloon's are not much better with the double beds always restricted by a table.

Forecabins are just so convenient and shaped best to optimise the opportunities that can arise due to the space constraints of yachts.

What a daft thread, brilliant! I give it 5 more posts before it descends into a disgusting rant on anchors or drogues.

Ooooh, is there something disgusting about anchors or drogues? I always thought they were boaty terms. If they are euphemisms, so much the better

p.s. 4 to go.

Can't believe how conventional and missionary my fellow forumites seem to be. I have always found that the nav table has plenty of head room, my excuse for getting my vectors wrong. Leant across the saloon table was always an old favourite as well. Nothing wrong with even a pilot berth for sleeping in!

One problem with aft cabins is that often the botton half of the berth has limited headroom because of cockpit floor or, as in my case, a lowered section of after deck. It's fine for two people stacked horizontally but rather limiting for vertical stacking.

Serious cuddles while at sea ? I reckon it's fine, providing you don't frighten the seahorses.

Because of the triangular shape you can usually find a good foothold in a forecabin...........

Then again most forecabins have a cut out. Half way to the Y shape referred to earlier! All about leading with ones head.

I dont see what the problem is with forward cabins. Mine has plenty of room for all sorts of things. This picture is of a similar (but newer) boat:

I tend to prefer the cockpit. Well, it's so aptly named, isn't it.

 

[KINGFISHER 9]

My forecabin's got one bunk and the thunderbox ... bit of a passionkiller that ... luckily the rest of the boat's quite roomy!

Must have a tidy up, one of these days

Why do people sleep in the fwd cabin, ...?

Sleep in it? I can't even get in it!
