The forward cabin consists of the captain's stateroom, stbd side, how ever small it might be, it's still private and all mine, and port side the head / shower. I've seen way to many boat layouts that you straddle the toilet or stand in front of the counter to take a shower and it drains to the bilge. I guess parts of my layout come from my submarine days but I like a stand up shower that that's all it is ... a shower. Well, yes, it does double as an at sea wet locker. That being said you're not going to see any pictures of the shower today, but that's the compartment I'm working in. I'm working my way around the cabin glassing on the deck / cabin side plywood corner, which where also will be attached a continuous oak hand rail. I know, a gadget shelf is pretty and decrative in port but when at sea you need a place to grab without poking your hand on some trinket you bought in Singapore and will be glad when it's broken so you can throw it away.
Ok, so the first picture is the stateroom with the port lite backer board and insulation in place.
The second picture is the head and how I attach the boards to the boat.
Tomorrow I glass the 24 inches or so edge in the shower. That complete the deck / cabin side corner. Next project after I insulate the cabin side is the cabinet work in the head. I think I've decided on a tilt up sink over the toilet. I mean, how often do you need both the toilet and the sink? I mean, if you're that sick I don't think you're muli-tasking anyway. It's either one or the other ... or both at the same time but I doubt you care anyway .... until later, or until you're cleaning up after yourself or another crew member ..... ya, I know .... way to much information and mind pictures.


A tilt up sink? I'd love to see pics!

You think it's exhausting reading it you should try building it. I'm have a great time but it is rather exhausting work. I can't wait until I'm finished and can enjoy sailing her
ReplyDeleteJust have a bucket or wastebasket handy in the head for when you are so sick you need both! :-)
