I was out on a boat the other day and was very pleased to see this nifty fold up basin in the crew compartment. I have touched on fold up basins and sinks here and here before but can't for the life of me see why they are not more prevalent aboard many more boats. The fact is that they make a lot of sense especially in heads compartments that are often crowded at best. Many boats use the heads compartment as a shower and it seems that you may spend five minutes taking the shower after which you need to spend half and hour cleaning up and drying the compartment. A fold up basin such as this model which is marked SCM, Bremerhaven would allow more room when using the compartment for showering and make cleaning up far simpler affair. A quick trawl of the internet showed no extra information on these particular basins which I suspect are no longer made. More's the pity.
