Collapsible Head

The bucket, lined with a biodegradable plastic bag, hangs from the board by its flange. The ring seat sits atop the board, cradling the flange. The bag gets tied after use and sealed inside another bag or container in the cockpit, to be taken ashore later. For solid waste only. Ring is yet to be finished (varnish, I think). It's all disassembled and put away after use, natch.
 

Anchors

 The green milk box in the background holds the anchor line. The 5 kilo main claw anchor is snugged under the shelf just ahead of the box. I snagged another, smaller claw anchor at the maritime flea market, to replace the grapple anchor, which I don't trust to stay open. The smaller claw is the secondary anchor and is kept with its own tackle under the cockpit seat, handy in case of emergency, the bitter end tied to the boat. The grapple may get used as well at some point, so it's not going anywhere.
