Hi,
Head room while atop a potti is difficult, but possible.
Those of sqeamish sensibilities should look away now. Here's how I do it:
Place the potti/bucket on the port side of the CB case, under the hatch.
Stand (head through hatch) on the starboard side fo the CB case, facing to
starboard.
Lower rear-end onto potti/bucket (CB case isn't all that high), grasping the
hatch rim to stop tumbling backwards.
I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
You can leave the washboards in, for modesty, but your head will be above
the coachroof, so you can admire an uninterrupted view as you meditate.
Cheers,
Bill

Bill,
While not an owner of a Chebacco(a MICRO stole me wee heart!),I
nevertheless did enjoy your brief description of how one should
procceed with the making of an offering on board a small boat.It
would have never,however,occured to me that anyone touched enough to
actually build a boat,especially a Bolger boat, and then sail far and
long enough to require the use of a marine sanitation device would
also be in wholesome possession of what you refer to as"sqeamish
sensibilities".
Indeed,one of the many advantages of our small boats is our
extreme shoal draftiness which permits us solace in thin spaces,far
from the ever prying eyes our admiring fans and assorted tribes.
On board my Micro,I enjoy taking my leisure just aft of the
mainmast,in that nifty little footwell.The happy slapping of
wavelettes upon the hull joined with broad colorful vistas and
windborne fragrances of nearby land renders the whole experience
rather sublime.
In crowded anchorages,marinas and yacht clubs I must confess
having to retire to the snug confines of the cabin to remove myself
from the barbarians' boivin gaze.Not having a centerboard case only
marginally facilitates the effort.However,one should be made aware of
the acoustic qualities often found onboard small boat cabins.The
effects of a worthwhile offering,while not as dramatic as "thunder
rolling down the glen",may be of sufficient volume to impress your
quay neighbors and let them know not to mess with you.
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,recalling the warmer days of summer and some really
memorable offerings,on the banks of the
St.Lawrence............

There you go, Chris. Looks like you have no more excuses for not building a
Chebacco. By the way, which version are you going for? Long? Short? Ply?
Lapstrake? Cold molded?
I'd go for the ply-lap version. I think Jim Slakov's KELANI ROSE is breath
taking:

Good Luck.
