Catamaran Cruising

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately (as far as plumbing goes) we'll be crossing Europe from France to the Black Sea via the Danube (humanitarian disaster and politics allowing (no flippancy intended)), so I reckon a good 5 months inland, not to mention overwintering in Greece or Turkey. Looking at all the different bits of legislation is pretty daunting and although I really like the Keep It Simple systems we already have aboard, my wife will appreciate a slightly less Spartan approach, especially as she's not a sailor (until now). Also without her indulgence this adventure would never have seen the light of day!

We're considering a composting toilet to deal with the worst of the pump out but I believe we still need to tank our grey water to satisfy the Turkish blue card system (I've given up thinking what they'll think about a composting system!).

As far as the heating goes, we've got raw water cooled yanmars so I was hoping to use the Webasto Thermo Top to heat a calorifier for the shower as well as radiators in the forecabins and a fan matrix in the saloon.

Oh well, only next season to get all this (and more) done, so maybe we'll end up keeping it simple anyway!

Thanks for listening.
