Re: Owners Version vs 4-Cabin Questions.

Hi

To back up Mark (Catapult) up, my vote is the owners version over the 4 cabin. IMHO storage trumps everything followed closely by the ability to have a shower without reversing in and out.

We had plans to convert a head on a 4 cabin to a "walk in robe" and storage but so glad we went with a 3 cabin. It enabled us to spend the money on other "mods" that are so useful - solar, water maker etc.

But it depends on what you want to do I guess. We are a couple with no kids (2 cats due to arrive in a few weeks) with a view to cruising aboard for at least 3 years wending our way back to Australia.

Re: Owners Version vs 4-Cabin Questions.

My wife and I have been live aboards on a Helia 4 cabin for 2 years now and love the 4 cabin layout. 2 big reasons: #1. We love having our own bathroom on the same side. Husband and wife spend 24 /7 in close quarters and having your own bathroom space is delightful. #2 We have both of our full size mountain bikes on board. Foldable bikes are decent transportation, but I cannot imagine riding one on a trail. Both bike store and are well preserved in the forward stateroom.

We removed the door to the forward bedroom, stored the forward berth mattress, and spend very little time in the hull.

Certainly to each his own; however, I don't see one as better than the other.
