Hi,
What make and model "Porta Potti" does the forum find best for CC19?
I assume it would 'sit':p in the locker, just beyond the mast support?

Hello Michiel
A Thetford Porta Potti 335 fits nicely.
Do an on-line search, you can save a lot of money. Mine cost £64 from UK Sports and Fitness (Jan 2009).
Cheers
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Thanks,
Have ordered the 335.
Cheapest is now just over £80.00, but we are 2 years and a VAT increase down the line.
So, suppose, can't complain too much.

Again Dennis,
What was the handheld GPS you have? and does it do the job??

Hello Michiel
My hand held is a "Garmin etrex Legend Hcx".
It certainly does the job for me. Being so small I also use it for walking. It is the second one I have had. The first one I stood on when leaping around the boat (previous boat Winkle Brig) and it broke the screen:o.
When I came to replace it, I had a good look at the alternatives, but came to the conclusion that I had made the right decision the first time. So I bought the same.
Being a Garmin, there are lots of (Free) maps available for land use. I use OpenStreetMap maps which are updated weekly and free to download and use.
I have attached a file generated using the Garmin MapSource software (which is included with the eTrex) with an OpenStreetMap showing the track of my sailing (today), as an example.
Cheers
Dennis
