I have a 1999 C Dory 22 cruiser. I recently had the galley unit taken out and had a new compartment put in in its place that has a head put in. It's a beautiful pice of work. I can now cruise and get up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom if I have to. I find that this makes the boat much more useable. The man that did the work did it exactly for the price that he quoted me. I recommend him highly. I live on Whidbey Island. If anyone wants to have this done I can give you the details.
Head in a c dory 22

Bryant-
At the C-Brat Get Together and Seattle Boat Show about two years ago, we saw a CD-22 Cruiser custom model being constructed at the factory with a head compartment installed in place of the galley.
Someone on this site may have a photo of it. (Anyone?)
I don't know if anyone got up into the boat and took any photos of the details, but I'd be interested in seeing how it compares with yours, just as an engineering solution.
Congratulations on your solving the problem!

But, if you don't have a place to prepare food, isn't there a diminishing returns sorta thing with a hea... nevermind.
For years, I've been reading the "great enclosed head" debate in regards to the 22 vs 25. While this thread is certainly indicative of how versatile/adaptive these boats can be, I really like having a galley AND a head. Just saying.
Best wishes,

Which type of head did you install?
1.) A plumbed flush type with a holding tank, which must be pumped out.
2.) A self contained "dry" type, like the AirHead.
3.) Some sort of self contained unit like the Porta Potty, which "flushes", is self contained, and has its own built holding tank.
I'm just interested in how you solved some of the problems involved in the installation, particularly made more difficult with the lack of an "underspace" in a CD-22, which would lie between the cabin floor and the outer hull on most larger boats.
It's the same type of problem faced by Europeans when they wanted to solve the problems when adding indoor plumbing and then flush toilets to older housing units 150 years or so ago.
In order to "plumb" a bathroom, they usually installed the plumbing above the existing floor, then installed a second, raised floor over the original to cover up the pipes. That's why you have to "step up" when going into the bathroom in these older homes and other forms of housing.

"So, without further ado, here's the ultimate nerd method. Works on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I actually have my own method, which involves learning to simply write the code, but either works!
