Fantasy boat

My 42 ft fantasy boat would have-as I ruefully calculated- an annual outgoing of at least £45k in depreciation, maintenance mooring and gentle upgrades over a ten year period .
Even with the man maths turned up to eleven on the calculator. 🤩

But as footballer George Best quipped, fast women and fast cars aside, he blew the rest of his money !
 
Easy - a toilet seat incorporated into the pushpit!

My Corribee had a bucket. Drilling a large hole through the hull below the waterline and installing a complicated and temperamental pump arrangement is quite a complicated and dangerous solution to a problem that didn't trouble Nelson's Navy, or even Minoans 5000 years ago.

(Yes, I know.)
 
Weren't the original 'heads' at the front of the boat, to be downwind of the bulk of the crew.
This is part of nautical history that gets forgotten but sailors must have crapped ,officers and lower ranks and did they have toilet paper ?On the trawler I worked onthe toilet sat over a pipe one Ted directly to the sea and in rough weather one had to avoid getting an anemia!

Paper? King Neptune’s cleaning arrangements not good enough for you

An experience soon to be repeated on your Dufour 24 if what you have said about you ambitions to install a Porta Potty are anything to go by.
