Number of Cabins

First of all - I'm really sorry for only ever asking questions in this forum but not answering any. It's not that I cant be bothered - I just ... dont have any answers!

About time I did at this stage of life but hey. ... I live in hope.

So my question is: What constitutes a cabin? If a yacht is divided into three main compartments, one containing a vee berth, one the main living space, and one the aft double berth, how many cabins is that?

Well, I would call that three, but quite willing to be corrected.

I think I would count the number of compartments where it would normally be sensible to sleep, i.e. probably excluding the cockpit seats and the cludgie floor, but including the saloon, which on some boats may well have the only usable sea berths.

I would, like Dave s call it three and think that if a door separates the spaces they can be defined as a separate cabins.

.
AFAIAC a cabin is anywhere designed for sleeping purposes, even if it also has other purposes. The saloon is therefore a cabin.

I would also agree with 3 as in any sales brochure or brokerage discription, ie 6 births in 2 cabins or 3 cabins etc etc.
Yours sounds like forward cabin, aft cabin, and main cabin, I cant see any argueing with that, unless some folk only describe the main cabin as the saloon, which I always thought, was the place where dudes could have a whiskey while wearing their 10 gallon hats on their 2 pint heads, and a brace of big irons on their hips.

The aft fornicatorium is one, the forepeak another and the saloon maketh three - with the obvious exclusion of the bathroom where I did once sleep...

Could swear you've been asleep in the cockpit as well - that maketh four...

There's a bath on Claymore?

Well, thank you all for that.

It's a clear mandate to go on thinking whatever the hell I like, so three it is.

You need 4

4 baths?

4 Baths a year is quite sufficient, IMHO

That's one every 3 months, whether you need it or not

Are two sets of drawers enough or do you suggest 3?
1 on
1 in the wash
1 ready for next month
