<p>Hi Don and Thomas.</p>
<p>Here is my solution. I will tell you in a few months if it is a good idea or not.</p>
<p>As you can see i am not very tall (and not very young ;-)). Here you have à Jabsco, a 25 liter tank and a filter.</p>

<p>Thomas, thanks for participating in my crappy topic. Your kilt idea has merit, but I'll refuse to wear a skirt without proper makeup. I could just slip on a gender neutral poncho before using the head and forget about the fabric screen to simplify things. Of course I'd have to master a water tight hatch on my first ever attempt, as I recall you managed to bury a hull Hobie 16 style! As with every idea, there is no perfection, only compromise (kilt, skirt or poncho?). </p>

<p>How to take a crap on a Tiki 26 seems to be an ongoing discussion. After eight years of sailing Tsunamichaser, I have come to the conclusion that there is no single simple solution. I use multiple solutions each with its own merit and haven't built in anything. Remember - these boats are meant to be "flexi space" per James and Hanneke's design. Respect it. I carry the smallest porta potty I could find to be legal and use it if I'm out for a day or three. There's a pump out station on…</p>
<p>How to take a crap on a Tiki 26 seems to be an ongoing discussion. After eight years of sailing Tsunamichaser, I have come to the conclusion that there is no single simple solution. I use multiple solutions each with its own merit and haven't built in anything. Remember - these boats are meant to be "flexi space" per James and Hanneke's design. Respect it. I carry the smallest porta potty I could find to be legal and use it if I'm out for a day or three. There's a pump out station on the way back to where I moor so this is simple and relatively mess free. It can even be used on deck in private if you carry a skirt or wear a kilt (Yes there is such a thing as a free Scotland!) I have come to the conclusion that peeing over the side is not worth the risk so I pee in a wide mouth half gallon juice jug. You can do it standing up in a cabin and no one is the wiser (or so I think!). For longer trips in sensitive areas, I use a homemade composting toilet. It consists of a 2.5 gallon painters bucket with a lid. Never pee in this bucket - see above on how to pee. Never place toilet paper in this bucket - that goes in a zip lock bag. Do your business and then add a handful of coir husk or wood shavings - it will breakdown or dry out that way pretty much odourless. As for offshore all bets are off and I pretend I'm a seal. Happy crapping Wharramites! </p>
