When there is so much space in a “head”, it might as well get called a bathroom.

On most other boats, these facilities are crammed in between cabins. On a Sarah, the end of one hull is available for the shower, toilet and laundry. We might as well call this the bathroom.

The inner wall separates the cabin from the cockpit and the outboard motor well. The wall kinks into the cabin to provide additional space for the motor’s powerhead. This causes additional pieces to be glued and screwed to create the wall.

At the top of the wall is a box, that serves as both an access step on to the deck of the boat, and a cosy seat for steering using a tiller. That seat is squeezed between competing requirements. It needs to be pushed forward to create an adequate space to sit, but that encroaches on the headroom in the bathroom. We have changed the sheer line at the aft end of the hull to provide the headroom and seat width further aft than the plan.

These are photos of the wall being dry fitted.
