How to Use a Marine Head - Don't Make me Laugh! (Tips From the Pros 2) Patrick Childress Sailing #51

Patrick Childress talks about almost falling overboard while peeing off a boat when he was younger, and about what other professionals feel about peeing on a boat, and what they practice and teach in regards to peeing over the side on a sailboat, particularly when offshore. Hank Schmitt from Offshore Passage Opportunities then gives a brief lesson on how to use a marine head so it doesn’t leave any smell or mess, and why he calls the “head” the “gym”, and how many times to pump a marine toilet. A quick sailing how to video, another in the series of The Sailing Tips from the Pros, so you can hear how the pros feel about peeing off the side of the sail boat, and if real men should sit down on a marine head or not. And how many times you should flush a marine toilet to keep it all clean and smelling like roses! When the call of duty on a sailboat happens next time, what will you do? Hank Schmitt runs a company that matches crews to sailboats for offshore passages. He is actually the #1 crew networking service in North America for Offshore passages. He also runs the NARC rally...the North American Rally to the Caribbean. This is the sailing trip that Rebecca took in 2001, to learn more about offshore sailing after several years of owning her boat and dreaming of cruising, or possibly sailing around the world. Patrick was the Teacher/Captain on that boat, and 2 years later they got together, and have been sailing around the world on SV Brick House for more than 12 years, slowly circumnavigating.

Please turn up your volume to hear Hank better. People have let us know that the volume is low but if you turn it up you should be able to hear it. Apologies!

Also, What do you think? Pee over the side? Or Sit down in your head and get your exercise?

Where else do you get such wisdom? Pure gold. Thanks Patrick.

I've heard you should use single ply TP instead of two ply. What is your opinion?

When I got on board of Britican for the first time it went like this:
"Hi welcome aboard, if I catch you peeing from the sugar scoop while at sea you're off the boat."
"Your bunk is right this way."

Only things that have been swallowed first go in the head - it takes a long time for toilet paper to decompose. I provide nappy bags for the paper to go into. These are kept until they can be disposed of on shore. Men hate to pee standing up so I use a wide necked bottle.

Yes, the volume is lower than other videos, but I play mine through a Bluetooth speaker which acts like an amplifier.

Hi, it gets louder by turning the volume up,
but it sounds as if there is a cloth over the speaker,
or in olden times the treble was turned down and the base up.
For me it is ok.
It is still listenable.
I only answered because of the other comment and your reply.
I would think it would be a one-off.
Try bringing the video up on a smartphone and I think you will see.
It was only a passing thought when the video started and I turned it up and forgot about it.
I read the comments after I watch the videos.
Keep up the good work.
By the way I have to replace the head on the boat I have just bought, what make of head have you got,?

Thanks. I’m not sure there is any way for us to turn up the volume on this side without taking the whole thing down and starting over. When you turn up the volume does it get louder or it just stays quiet? -Rebecca

I hear him fine in my phone. My guess - could he be one side only of a stereo track?
