CATAMARAN BUILD - The 'Reach Around' Test 😲💩 (MJ Sailing - Ep 223)
February 13, 2022 by MJ Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:02 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
How much space do you really need on a toilet to do your business? Well at least enough room to reach behind you and wipe!!
Last week you’ll have seen that we received our compact toilet from Vetus, and this week we figure out placement for it in the master head. Which truthfully, is much easier said than done since we need to consider how far it will intrude in our walking space, as well as how much counter/vanity space it could cut down on. Plus, there’s the ever important ‘reach around’ test.
Then we take a few minutes to discuss our thoughts on the Vision 444 catamaran, which is one of the boats we had really been looking forward to touring at the Annapolis Boat Show, but did not make it. Thankfully we’d been introduced to the owner’s last summer and they were happy to have us aboard to poke our heads around before departing for warmer waters. As a catamaran sized much closer to ours (as opposed to the 48 & 52 foot versions we saw at the show), it gave us a great idea for what’s possible in that kind of spacing. Plus we loved the design (similar veneers) and use of color and vinyl.
Enjoy!!
Much love from Annapolis!

Sailing the world to see the world! We're a couple of high school sweethearts in our late 30's that have been on the move for 9 years; creating videos of the ups, the downs, our triumphs and our trials. After circumnavigating the North Atlantic in our last boat Serendipity, (1989 Sabre Targa 34), we took on a 2 year complete refit of our new boat Elements of Life - a custom aluminum 37' monohull. After sailing her to the Arctic, we sold her in 2020 to begin our newest project of building a 42 ft catamaran.
