Toilet orientation

wrote: Why is it considered better design to have the marine toilet in a sailing yacht oriented lengthwise rather than transversely? What is your opinion? Dag Stenberg I prefer a head along the center line. A little tighter is better than too much room. Leg space is also great. This comes from too many attempts to get the foul weather pants, and undergarments down and back up in the head in rough conditions. Make sure the raw water pick up is located as close as possible to the bottom of the hull. Too many boats have a head that can only be used on one tack. Heaving -to to use the head is a pain.
