Tank or Compost?

Hello! We just acquired our first sailboat, a 1972 Cal 2-46 and it has no black water holding tank. We are debating either putting in a tank or just getting a composting toilet. Anyone have any experience with the composting toilets? Any opinions on which is better or more practical would be helpful! Thank you 😁

Re: Tank or Compost?

I assume you have searched "composting head", "desiccating head", "airhead", and "nature's head"?


There are many good threads on this forum that may answer all of your questions. You're going to read a lot of strongly held opinions!
