I agree with all that (pros and cons).
Rob, do you think it might be possible to have a 40' version with 2 doubles and a central head? I have not been able to draw it up myself yet, but something along the lines of our previous discussions, with a 7'6" wide ww hull, containing the berths, head and galley, and a detachable cockpit (to enable containerization)?
Making the ww hull wide enough for a central head, with entrances from each stateroom seems to be the biggest problem. Is this reasonable, or am I just trying to fit a dozen clowns in a volkswagen?

What I really like about Cruiser 60
* the comfort and liveability of the volume
* the potential as a liveaboard
* the capacity to cruise anywhere I would want to go safely
* shallow draft
* aspects of construction that permanently keep costs down
* the schooner rig is very appealing
* the build method seems quicker and simpler than any other proposal I can think of
What I do not like
* the marina fees of a multihull that is 60ft, and it is ongoing
* the cost, cheap as it is, its a lot of dough and for me thats prohibitive
* if it was available a 'speed' kit would be even more prohibitive
* when a boat is big, all of the maintenance is going to be more costly
* the seemingly under-developed accommodation plan, though not hard to change
