Outboard head anyone got the shot?

Remember ages ago someone posted a shot on the old forum of a boat that had a toilet seat mounted on top of the rudder?

It was some open-transomed 30-ish footer that was readied-up for a long-distance race - maybe Vic-Maui or something.

Anyone have the shot? I could use it if no-one minds.

It was E.T. , the Antrim 27, for Transpac or Pac Cup. I had the pic, but have since had to wipe the computer clean.

I heard a rumor that it was designed and used by a woman crew member and that it mounts in the outboard motor mount...

Hmmm - don't see the handicap accessible hand rails. Not sure it's up to code....

God save us from the ADA. I know it meant well, but some of its requirements are too much!

No wheelchair access ramp, either...

Here's another shot. I saved them to give an ex-member who had an Antrim grief.

That is awsome. Time to put some drawings on the site so we can all make one for those distance races.

There was a guy in Anacortes, WA who commissioned a 60'er for a BOC race. He never got to the race but I remember the boat well. Aluminum hull with a toilet seat built into the stern pulpit. He claimed that , at speed, no toilet paper was needed because of the spray off the transom. Imagine a salt-water bidet!

The other cool thing was the propulsion system which consisted of a Honda outboard motor lower end with a hydraulic head driven by a large hydraulic motor which also powered winches (I believe). Strange boat.
