How is a portapottie used in the p15?

[In the cabin - requires contortions worthy of a cat.
In the cockpit - easily, but a bit public.]

How is privacy maintained?

[There is no privacy on a P15. If you rig a screen
around the cockpit, you may be able to shield yourself
from smaller boats. Big boats will still be able to
look down on you...]

Joseph -

In the last year, I have heard no clearly superior
ideas or methods for dealing with this fundamental
problem.

I believe that some folks set it on the centerboard
trunk cover and face in or out the cabin door. This
has not been verified and seems a bit risky if the
seas are troubled...

One has suggested wearing a cape or "duster" while
taking care of the necessary in the cockpit. This
has not been met with great applause.

I will certainly share any methods that seem to have
broad applicability. As I am a big guy, anything that
works well for me will probably work for just about
anyone.

Now, about the shower facilities...
