Oh look a couple of twats. Not at all, I can see it's the viable option for a cmer with a holding tank and a normal flushing bog. |

Waterless toilets are the way forward, as magnetman will find out when he has to keep filling the tank for the flush toilet on his new boat.

Exactly Kris i dont think I could go back to a cassette or pump out toilet just to much effort, mine gets emptied every 3 months into the composting bin, along with all the veg waste, grass and now leaves as its that time of year again |

I'm still working on the fast-freeze compressed air mortar waste disposal system, the "out of shite, out of mind 8 bore shitgun". Given the military nature of this vessel I think a gun turret would be quite an appropriate addition.

It's overcomplicating the problem. Keep things simple and dispose of material as often as possible. Storing any volume of shit on a boat is a fundamentally bad plan. |

Seller told me boat was 11 tonnes but the delivery man said he thought it was more than that and man who put it in water at Reading said it was 16 tonnes!
To be fair if it is 10m X 3m X 1m then a solid block would be 30 tonnes so if it has a block coefficient of 0.53 which seems reasonable considering the lines of the hull then it will be 16 tonnes.
I noticed the gauges on the travel hoist at the Lincolnshire yard were not working properly so I reckon the bloke I bought it off had read an incorrect reading on that travel hoist when it was hooked out of the water 3 years ago.

The travel hoist at Fosdyke Yacht Haven – If the weight of the boat is measured as the combined tension in the wire ropes forming the falls then the reading will be misleading unless the falls are vertical. The crane operator needs to know the tension but it will not always coincide with the weight. Does the travel lift have any other means of measuring the weight - like load cells in the legs? |

I personally have no idea. I did not even know they weigh their load at all. It is a nice piece of equipment though. |
