The Hanging Locker & Head
25 April 2007 | Lake Ontario

The hanging locker, together with the head is just abaft the forward stateroom, with a paneled wood door between them.
It is about 30" wide and very commodious. We have seen a few Wanderers where this has been converted to shelves, drawers, or a combination thereof. Other folks just pile duffel bags or sail bags in there, while we have used it as intended, as a clothes closet.
There are several hooks on either side of the aft door, which gives visual privacy from the main salon.
The head is opposite. There is a large, sliding wash basin unit above and outboard of the head. Above the wash basin is a largish locker, while there is a small drawer just under the basin. There is a 24 hour solar vent in the coach roof above the hanging locker and an opening port above the head. If you need a picture of the hanging locker side of this compartment, please email me (click on the "email me" link at the upper right).
