What's going on again? A toilet on strike disrupts even the most beautiful cruise
The on-board toilet only comes into focus when it stops working. What you need to bear in mind to prevent this from happening: the instructions in the PDF download

When the toilet breaks down on board, it can spoil the mood even in the best sailing weather. We asked the manufacturer of Jabsco on-board toilets to explain how the problems can be solved or, better still, avoided altogether. This toilet is frequently installed on modern yachts.

You can read about the huge differences between using the toilet at home, what a good installation looks like and what to do in an emergency in the 11/2018 issue of YACHT. The magazine is available in the DK shop, or you can download the instructions directly via the link below.

Redakteur Test & Technik

Michael Rinck war das Kind, das nach der Schule direkt aufs Wasser wollte – Segeltraining, Regatten, Hauptsache nass. Diese Vorliebe machte er zum Beruf: Erst als Segellehrer auf der Alster (während des Studiums), dann ab 2014 in der YACHT-Redaktion. Dort hat er im Bereich Test & Technik seine Berufung gefunden: Segelboote und Sicherheitsequipment testen. Was besonders bei Rettungswesten und MOB-Systemen bedeutet, dass er mehr Arbeitsstunden im Wasser treibend verbringt als die meisten Menschen im Büro sitzend. Höhepunkt: eine ganze Nacht in der Rettungsinsel auf der Ostsee. Seine Familie hat inzwischen durchgesetzt, dass Urlaubstörns auf der eigenen Fahrtenyacht deutlich trockener ablaufen.
