Cabin count

Post by DaveS »

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. :lol:

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...

4 Baths a year is quite sufficient, IMHO

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

Normal.
back-to-front.
inside-out normal.
inside-out back-to-front
That's four days, and is an almost infinitely repeatable cycle under normal driphart conditions.
The three clear days give adequate time for automatic de-scaling to occur - as long as good tweed outergarments are in contact.
Time to change is when crucial areas of material cease to exist, as tweed can be dangerous in comando conditions. :roll:

William
allow me to introducethe concept of rough knit herdwick wool as a base material for the aforementioned garment.
Clinkers and winnets become a thing of the past in short time once donned
Para uses them all the time even in summer and has become stranger to the haemrrrrrrrorrrrhoidd by which he was once so afflictedm

The savings from the Anusol budget must be eye-watering.
Is there a lesson for all of us here, during this time of enforced austerity?
