Yes, 'tis indelicate, but a welcome discussion among users of very

You're right, it's a great discussion. I probably shouldn't have
worried about offending anyone; after all, this is one issue everyone
has in common.
Funny thing though - even out cruising it seemed to be something that
wasn't discussed until you really got to know someone. Even religion
and politics came first! Silly, really, considering the fact that it
will not be ignored for even one day :-)
Thanks for piping in.
BTW, the boat I'm on the fence over (but maybe I've already decided,
deep down - you know how that is) is pretty similar to a Folkboat,
dimension-wise - I just looked it up the other day for comparison
(Rhodes Meridian, by the way, out in your neck of the woods). One big
difference is that it doesn't have a transom-hung rudder - but I wish
it did. In compensation, I can just stand up below in the saloon.
It has an ancient marine head below, right smack under the center of
the V-berth. All kinds of scary looking old hoses, and no holding
tank. It does have a lot of keen looking bronze cylinders, plungers,
levers, and the like though :-)
