I don't think I would be to happy if someone took a dump on the cockpit deck.

The middle of the night is not the time for dumping with a properly-trained crew.

Could be a problem if viago was chef of the day.

When crossing time zones and having to stand watch night and day all sorts of things happen to body clocks.

Perhaps not an issue if you are marina hopping.

Try keeping the saloon dry as you pass through it in soaking wet kit for a call of nature on a dark and stormy night.

Both my current and previous boats are/were late 70s/early 80s designs - wide beamed and narrow for and aft.
Midships was the only place for the head.

With advancing age, my sailing has become less and less adventurous.
A 24 hour overnight passage is about as exiting as it gets these days.
Only after a serious laps of judgment would I find myself afloat in a dark and stormy night.

One of the cons listed in the article is: heads forward of the saloon.

Why would this be a con?
Both my current and previous boat had the heads forward of the saloon and I never found this to be an issue.

Indeed, why would less form stability be a con?
Looks like the reviewer was stuck for something to say.
