After having 10 people on a CYOA Helia 44 with 6 being brand new to cruising, I'm rather lusting after a water maker. Of course, stopping for water at Sopers, Leverick, Saba and Jost was pretty easy with two screws, even with the enormous windage of a cat vs. our monohull. We tried water conservation and deck showers, but ten people still use a lot of water. Yeah, water maker.

Cheers, RickG
