Rest, Recuperation & Personal Hygiene

Good Storage instead of
Clutter

Staterooms need to be spacious with plenty of headroom. If you can’t stand up, you’re just camping. Forget about living out of a knapsack. You need a yacht designed to give you adequate storage for clothes and personal effects. Full size, cedar lined hanging lockers and plenty of storage under the berth make a difference.

You can also forget cheap foam pads as mattresses. Memory foam is fine, but you don’t want to wake up to your watch with an aching back!



Proper Heads with
Showers

Separate heads with full showers also make a difference. Personal hygiene becomes very important after even several days at sea.

Fresh water, VacuFlush or electric heads cut down on unnecessary odor. Much of the "head odor" is cause by decaying marine life in the seawayer used to flush standard hand pumped toilet fixtures.

Ideally, fresh water for the heads will be kept in separate, dedicated water tanks. Water levels are easier to monitor if separate from the main supply.

Don’t compromise on how you look after yourself!
