Temporary Stand-up Shower on Trailerable Boat

[@budpratt4295]

Your ingenuity is only surpassed by your First Mate's understanding and tolerance. You are a luck guy.

[@douglasneill8501]

So glad you guys are starting to do some more videos.....and love your ingenuity!

A hula hoop velcroed by tabs to the bottom portion of the curtains would spread out the bottom giving more room while not pulling it out of the tub. The hula hoop could be separated at its seam and cut down to a diameter that would fit if it is too large as is. You might even find another use for the hoop.

Alberta Sailor Good ideas!

[@IandiBoats]

Your Ingenuity is unparalleled in the annals of sailing history. :-) good job

[@thesailingrode1817]

iandi Boats Wow, you are impressed easily. It’s not like we are building a 54ft. boat in our yard.

I do the same thing in my camper van but before the weed sprayer I use an all body wipe. Like a handy wipe but bigger. So I'm just rinsing that off. I tried several brands and the one I like is called Dude Quick Shower. It's made with a thicker material.

Have enjoyed the videos and Podcasts and have gotten to the end I think, Don't see much for the last year. Hope you both are doing well. Hope there will be more podcasts and videos. Fair winds and beautiful sunsets.

[@thesailingrode1817]

we will eventually get some new shows and videos out. We have lots of material stacked up, just need more time to pull it together!

[@JohnBraman413]

good idea for the shower. is there a way to drain the dog bath into the bilge area? no new videos? still got it?

[@willn69]

Hey guys, We too live in Orlando and were wondering if we could get together to compare boats. We have a 2015 Tattoo 26, similar to the Macgregor 26M. We bought it used and are new to sailing. Tips on rigging the boat are what we are looking for. Hopefully we will be able to feel comfortable doing trips like what ya'll have done in the near future.

willn69 You can contact us through [e-mail] happy to share our rigging tips.

BRILLIANT!⛵

[@airborneranger-ret]

Very nicely done :)

How do you HEAT your boat.?

[@melweed3250]

might be better to use the enclosed head with a solar shower bag on the cabin roof. use a small bilge pump to evacuate the post shower water

[@thesailingrode1817]

mel weed We try to keep things simple on the boat. Our boat is really too small for an enclosed head and no need for a pump when a complete shower only uses two gallons of water. We have found the more complexity you add to the boat, the more time you spend fixing things rather than enjoying cruising.

[@keymaster2108]

Lol it will be one trip before that setup changes. I don't think it’s a hard task I think its just a matter of water and your ability to make it or have enough. you could use the sun to heat your whole entire water supply and when you require cold water you could run it through a small coil in the sea water or I just drag a bottle in the sea for a while. There are things that I am not sure of like will something grow in the tank if it’s warm even if it has no light. Pressure is another factor and soft plastic from heat, Hose will also soften

[@howard.russelmclaren7562]

how do you empty the pool after?

[@thesailingrode1817]

Howard.russel Mclaren We just dump it outside or down the sink. we can both take showers with lest than 1.5 gallons of water so it is not much to empty.

[@chrislee1435]

Cool. You got me thinking now.

[@rosal2465]

I'm new here, why don't you use that contraption inside the toilet, or put a drain in the toilet room

[@JohnBraman413]

what happened to the channel? no new videos

[@thesailingrode1817]

We have been too busy with work, but planning to relaunch later this year.

[@georgerobinson9275]

That is a cheap way of doing it!
