tall toilet wheres step !

[Guest]

Hi Everyone, just a few lines to let you know all is well with "Tango" in as much as a boat can be well, I,m after Clive here really, question ** on Tango the toilet is a long way off the floor ie you need to be six foot tall to reach the floor if sitting, Im five foot six so I have a real problem, I presume there would have been a step that you placed on the floor to raise yourself if in need !! Any Idea's Clive ?

Try a small plastic stool, the sort of thing children use to reach hand basin with. Be gratefull if your verticaly challenged you can always use a stool, but at 6'2" i can rarely stand fully upright on peoples boats and it can be quite tricky getting down tight lockers, bilges and engine rooms!

when I sit on loo my feet are about ten inches off the floor helppp

Biggles my man, I have a rather fetching pair of high heels that the Mrs. no longer requires. I found they go well with cords, jeans and my jim jams, i could be persuaded to part with them, unfortunately she's stretched them to a size 12 but i pad them out with a couple of pairs of footie socks, i could let you have them at a reasonable cost if you think it'll help. but no hopping off to moor up in them and deffo no pub

Little hinge up footrest might aleviate your obvious and great discomfort and distress.

Yes well worth the effort to get the ergonomics sorted out as close to "home" as possible.

In past years various strange hire boat configurations often caused my b*m department to go strike for the duration of the hols.

dunno really, I never heard of an issue, I suspect the shower tray is an odd shape to place a stepping stool, perhaps a chair in front of the galley may be better

Thanks for comments, I would suspect there was a wooden platform of some kind which dropped onto the GRP base and so lifting the floor level to a normal height, I was hoping Clive would have memory of it as he says it is a weird floor shape. it couldnt possibly have gone out on hire the way it is at present !
