Nice Kurt! Looking forward to seeing the in-progress pictures. A lot to be learned from your well thought-out and tried ideas. Looking good! Rock on, my man!

Thanks Mike!
Yesterday I tore out the hanging locker, moved my 'galley' forward using that area (also making the countertop much wider than it has been), and used the aft wall of the old hanging locker to establish the forward wall of the new mini-head/hanging locker/utility closet. It works! It's not very large, so I don't think it is a solution for everybody, but it will be nice to have a spot right at the companionway to hang wet foulies in, or, in the unlikely chance that I can trick a woman aboard , a place where she'll be able to have her privacy. Or me mine, I guess...
I think I'll call it "the WC", like the Brits do.

G'mornin Kurt,
and a happy renovative '07.
I have your cad drawings on the kitchen cork walls - for inspiration!
Give us one on the WC (water closet), OK?
Head and heads (Brits) refers to the dump placed in the fo'c'sl of a ship.
Since yer moving the head aft, perhaps a more shippy term would be WL, for water locker?
Still appropriate for a portpottie, correct?
I like the locker's primary use being for wet gear! It's a real problem in a minimalist cruiser.
