As with most full time cruising boats, the "extra" head and bedroom become extra storage or double duty use. In our case, the forward head contains a double tub, South American washer. This wonderful machine is portable, requiring no instalation and can be moved to the deck in just a few minutes. the waterproof cover allows extended storage while company is on aboard. The washer will do a load of 4 kg and the spinner, seen on the right, will remove almost all water for a quick dry on the line. We use the water from the sink (hot and cold) and drain through the shower sump. This machine is ideal for a cruising boat because you can use the rinse water for the next wash.
