I see a possibility, as 2 would be normally required

Ahhhh - I thought it was to retain the original (now wireless on one side) with the addition of another 'cup'. I did not appreciate it was a full replacement option.

 

They do say "twos company & three is a crowd"

It would hark back to the days of Victorian elegance and be practical at the same time

you know what - I think you're onto something.   I'm looking forward to a cartoon style sketch that may be useful for making a pitch on Dragons' Den one day soon.

I fitted a circular sink in ‘Gilgie’ because Gilly did not want either soulless stainless or white ceramic. I spotted some large earthenware flower pots when shopping for the beech countertops in Ikea, so bought one to convert into a sink.

Now, I wouldn't mind finding the three bra wires for her.

Assuming that a round sink has the same or similar diameter as the across flats size of a square sink, it will use less water from your tank to achieve a given depth of water.

No-one has actually answered the OP's question yet, which is why do people buy round sinks for narrow boats.

 

To be qualified to answer, you must have chosen and purchased a round sink for your narrow boat. Any such people reading this, please explain your reasoning! Everyone else is just pontificating. 

 

I am such a person, and my reason is as I stated earlier in the thread. I wanted the cheapest sink and drainer I could possibly find that would do the job, and round ones were less half the price of anything rectangular.

Unusually sloppy for you MtB.

 

No-one has actually answered . . . why . . .”.  Yet you go on to say: “my reason is as I stated earlier . . .” You are therefore nobody?

 

Plus, I gave a reason also: “I fitted a circular sink in ‘Gilgie’ because . . .No pontificating.

Last boat fitted a round'un (small boat, tiny tank, less water used for given depth  in sink.)
Current boat has square sink (bigger boat, much bigger tank, square sinks were silly cheap on offer in B&Q at the time of fitting out.) 
Will that do? :)

I installed a Shaws Round Ceramic Sink in the gallery. Two main reasons first: ceramic holds the heat longer and looks upmarket which it should do at £300. (Brought new on Ebay £35). Second reason you can install the taps where you like and not look out of place unless you install them at the front.
