12 metre 369 #6 Posted January 23 Methinks the OP's question is more rhetorical than literal. i.e. "Why not call it a Bauhaus?". This assumes the OP is referring Bauhaus as in the "Form Follows Function" school of design thought rather than the late 70's British Goth band below: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varan 1,934 #10 Posted January 24 Because it's Virtual. You go up there, and there really is not a berth. Just a bunch of wet sails, anchors, chain... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willin' 892 #11 Posted January 26 Because a W berth wouldn't fit in the bow house! Reminds me of the one time my Dad went sailing with me. As we're motoring out of the harbor he asked me where I kept the PFDs? I told him up in the forepeak, aft bulkhead, port side. I repeated it twice when he kept looking at me sideways like I was pulling his leg. Finally I said back wall of the front bedroom on the left. He went up and looked just to make sure I wasn't bullshitting him. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willin' 892 #12 Posted January 26 Sometimes, when my wife's up in the V berth, I like to eat at the Y. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Crab 1,060 #15 Posted January 26 The real reason is if it were called the foreberth, we'd also be stuck with ... the afterberth. So let's keep it classy shall we? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
