Re: Bucket bath and showers
Back to simplicity, I did the bucket bath vs 12v shower comparison test (in back yard, 32C, windy and muggy) speedos and travel towel, plugged into Terias 12volts. For the hot water heater used my Trangia 25 1.75L pot of about 1.6L water with meths burner. First was the 12v shower https://www.tentwo...

Re: Bucket bath and showers
Thanks for the vid, "simon's soup can stove". It's always interesting watch guys invent or adapt things on u-tube (watching a few van and 4wd shower vids too) Simpilcity is the key, I'm going to try my old "flexitub" as a shower water recycling catcher. It's strong enough, big en...

Re: Bucket bath and showers
Investigated the "Evershower" base pans dimensions. They're 50.5cm x 50.5 cm so would fit into an I563 cockpit floor (about 52cm wide on the flat, 58cm wide between walls which also slope outwards. The max height of its frame is 2.2m, might need the boom topped up. The basepans height is 1...

Re: Bucket bath and showers
That SODBOSCO shower looks great Ozzie, have saved your instructions for later reference. Would like to try it out, not too many parts to "break down" and spare parts not a problem :) Online browse the aquacubes, the new lithium12v rechargeable ones cost twice that of the old 12V only unit...

Bucket bath and showers
G'day everyone, Seems like not much info on showers and bucket baths aboard, how to wash all that encrusted salt, sand and mud off. On Teria i've just used the old yachties favorite, a sponge/cup and bucket bath (with or without hot water added). It's cheap, simple, never fails and an absolute water...

Re: Baking bread on board.
Bob has a great story with Zoe Amelia, thanks for reviving it Ozzie. Plenty of food for thought there with the sweeps/beaching legs/ bowsprits. Bob was doing similar style Island cruising to what Teria does, and only a couple 100kms south of here. Perhaps a collapsible coleman camp oven (or similar)...

Re: The List
Thanks for the updated list Ray, it's not an easy task But "Teria - Chifley NSW" entry looks suspect to me Investigated this, (as Teria would be a rare name in Aust and certainly among the 170 or so I563's ever built (name from Ireland or Japan)).. Googled "Teria Investigator" an...

Re: Electric yachts - the future?
This video from Sailing Uma popped up on my utube feed today. They visited a big trade show in Amsterdam recently (for 3 days) which has a pleothora of advanced boat electric companies (some well established , others startups) displaying their hardware, software and some with fully integrated e-prop...

Re: Galley Box
Yes, it's quite portable Ozzie, reckon it could go anywhere (like ute trayback camping, beach etc) Found a couple more stowage spots aboard. As there's no foward bunk matresses installed in Teria, it fits just foward of the arch bulkhead to either side and also right up in the bow under foredeck beh...
