I have a conquest which I am renovating. The boat is mainly used for day trips so extensive cooking facilities are not important but due to a varied range of stow aways a decent call of nature cubicle is a priority. I don't want to use the aft cabin for one reason or another primarily because I have a removable seat across the doorway between the pilot and co pilot seat. As the width of the galley is greater than the little cupboard which commonly seems to house the pee pot on these boats my plan is to remove said cooking area and install a cubicle and have a micro galley where the loo housing wardrobe currently stands. I guess the non fare paying passengers will have to fold themselves into the new privvy but it seems the best option. Has anyone come up with a satisfactory solution to pee pee privacy on board ?
Many thanks , David. |

Whoa that ship is looking great ! When i was a kid Dad had a 17ft touring caravan and the loo door bi folded out to create a cubicle.
My big problem is my friends parents when I was about 10 had a 27ft broom which seemed perfectly set out and I think I'm subconciously trying to recreate it in a 20ft Norman !!!!!!
I too am heading towards the single burner canister hob.
Thank you for the reply. I'll keep you posted on the renovation over the coming months and as for the head I'll let you know if it leads to wet legs n feet ! From your photos it appears you have repainted both inside and out, if so what paints have you used and how did you apply them ? |

The normal solution on 18 to 20 footers is to leave the galley alone and to open the heads door across the companion way and latch it to the galley front with a barrel bolt. A small panel can be hinged to the galley to lift up and latch vertical or to the edge of the heads door closing off the cabin. Shutting the cockpit door then creates a cubicle approximately 4ft 6 inches to 5 feet x 2 feet approx dependant on how you size things. That is as big as the one in your house almost although not as wide.
You may or may not choose to put the loose hatch on for total privacy.
This is an 18.5 Norman I gutted to a shell and rebuilt totally, the heads door is open and touches the galley opposite. Note the floor is raised in the heads - it touches the hull at the chine, it maximises headroom, the cabin sole is lower by around 4 inches. The galley on this boat was shortened and the cooker omitted, a portable cooker was envisaged to simplify BSS. A shelf was hinged on the cockpit side of the galley bulkhead to hold this, is has a stainless steel top bonded on. Note the cabin door is bi-fold to save space.
Sorry the pics don't convey the idea more clearly. The heads doorway is exactly the same width as heads bulkhead to galley dimension.
The last pic is the finished boat dangling from my gantry, lifting it to roll the trailer underneath it..
Finally living the dream!
