I guess a more comparable boat than the P26 would be the CD 25D, also designed by our venerable Mr. Alberg. That design sacrifices the entire v-berth for the head...

I'm trying to think ahead to what it will be like with two toddlers and the wife. Cozy to say the least. But the reality is, we'll be mostly day sailing. And when we do over nighters, the bucket in the cockpit sounds like a much more ventilated and private setup anyway.

Sheesh! I don't even have an Ariel yet and I already need a bigger boat!
