Never thought about it before,

but are there portable toilets for ribs? I suppose so, like campers, but you'd have to be a bit of exhibitionist, I presume.

Mine's called a bucket.

I'm not sure how robust many of the 'porta potti' type toilets are. OK for motorhomes and small sailing boats, but wonder how they'd cope with the pounding they'd receive in a RIB... Oh, the thought of it.

Ours is the 'pissoir'

Has also been known to be used in the Disco in traffic queues on the A30 in Cornwall

You could also use it as a helmet if it rains

Took the one in my boat out (plumbed in job) on the basis that I am never really more than 10 mins from a real bog , and it took up room that I can best use in other ways.

Its in the garage if you want it

We tested a rib at Ribex that had a toilet built into the console area, where the suicide seat normally goes.

This is an interesting product, that may be of some use as well:

Someone was doing an inflatable toilet tent with toilet inside - designed to be used in the back of people carriers etc but would work on a RIB I suppose.

Is this for the solid stuff or just a piss hardener?

If it's only a matter of #1, I'll just go over the transom - shouldn't raise the sea level too drastically.
