Toilet orientation

I didn't know that was considered better. Ours have the back to the hull which I think is transverse (?) I suppose if the boat is pitching, that lengthwise is easier to deal with, but if it is rolling then transverse is easier. So the question in my mind is which is more likely to occur. grandma Rosalie S/V RosalieAnn, Leonardtown, MD CSY 44 WO #156 http://home.mindspring.com/~gmbeasley/id1.html Pitching and rolling are factors, but what of an ocean-going sailboat heeled to port or stbd for days or weeks at a time? I think accessibility to hand grips, bulkheads, etc. may be more important than orientation. On the hard or at the dock, everything looks stable and simple.
