Fitting the Toilet

Chris Avatar

Work is progressing forward in the starboard hull, after starting with the steps, the rudder post, the bulkhead on the rear frame and the inner wall separating the head from the cockpit, we are now at the back of the bathroom, and working on the internal fitout.

These photos show the fitting into the rear of the head of the toilet and washing machine.

With the changes to the deck and sheerline above the head, there is more space at the rear of this cabin. Here the washing machine sits on a plinth to raise it above water level, and the toilet sits level on a wedge flange that compensates for the sloping floor.

There are two access hatches behind the washing machine. These provide access to the black water tank (below) and into the top of the rudder stock (above). Hopefully, these will only be rarely used to fix problems.
