i've come to the conclusion that altering the hull and keels of my little corribee is not actually a good idea. on the other hand the mast will be on the centerline of the boat this weekend. i hope that this will improve things a little.
one thing that i could do with is a loo. the corribee, not being a big boat, lacks a dedicated heads conpartmnet. while on the boat yesterday i was looking at the layout of the cockpit. now it strikes me that there is an awful lot of wasted space. the existing loo is a chemical thing. i think its called a chamakarzie. this sits in the well between the bunks. Its ok when i'm sleeping on the boat by myself. the problems arise when my crew are also bunking down for the night. we had a near miss last friday evening. i was just entering slumber when my crew needed to answer the call of nature. this is understandable as i had been treating him to a night in the clubhouse bar. the chamakazie was opened and the first i knew of it was a nose hair burning sickly sweet smell inches from my nose. the crewman being a bit worse for wear missed my head by no more than a foot. it must have been a good night as my pillow was still wet in the morning.
so my question. in the cockpit is a lot of wasted locker space. do you think it would be practical to fit a fixed heads unit in one of the seat lockers. i say fixed as the chamakarzie's lid does not lock properly and when going about and racing hard does sometimes fall over spilling its contents. a fixed unit would be quite neat under on of the seat lockers. is this a viable option?
