Yannis
It almost sounds like you are speaking from experience. LOL
Carl is right, the senior group is growing. The Baby Boomer generation is maturing and will be thinning out sooner rather than later. Then it is the next generations time to take over.
The ads do target specific groups. Hollywood has a way of brain washing us. Here in the US they have been preparing us for a female President with some of the TV shows and movies. Unfortunately, they have not realized that we are not listening to them.

Re: Eta Beta
It's already one year Eta Beta is in the Shipyard for refurbishing:
Time flies!

Re: Eta Beta
That's pretty slick brother. I am setting my bathroom up in the same area. I'm glad to see yours to get a general idea on how it will look.
Re: Eta Beta
The 30 fb has the bathroom up against the front window. You have to see how the shower water doesn't spill into the cabin. If you don't care about the shower then it is simpler.

Re: Eta Beta
Door's edge Yannis, is designed 10cm higher than head's floor and door will have a rubber trim

Re: Eta Beta
Francesco, I'm talking about the seals at the front and side windows.
And whether the front ledge has (or doesn't have) the correct slope to send water back into the bathroom as opposed to sideways into the cabin...
You know, all these boat related headaches!!

Re: Eta Beta
Francesco,
Go to my old thread "B28-Shower creation process"
Toward the end you'll see pics of how I made my door so that water doesn't seep out, and after 10 plus years it still doesn't.
Look at the lip of the frame where the door sits in.
Also the door itself has an added triangular piece of wood across its lowermost point, so as to send all water inward into the shower floor.
You may not have to have a 10cm vertical at the entrance floor...just these 3cm suffice.

Re: Eta Beta
If you mean these (red arrows)

there will be a soft seal against front and side windows

Re: Eta Beta
Perfect!
Do you plan to seal the door somehow the same way?
PS You will need some kind of curtains too…

Re: Eta Beta
Holy cr@p! Superteck! I'm in the middle ages...
But what about the boat's windows, I mean the side and the curved plus front?
Can you apply this technology there too?

Re: Eta Beta
If you're willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money, there's a proper LCD technology, UV resistant; if you're comfortable with something that is worth the project, ensuring your privacy when using head, just adding some curtain on front windows, that would be best compromise to my opinion.
I can't even figure out how much could cost a curved stratified tempered glass, with a LCD film in between!

Re: Eta Beta
I don’t want to know either!!
I’d put a curtain of my choice and finish with it all.
The front one might need clip buttons at the bottom to accommodate for the slope.
