Join us, James & Angela, and take a glimpse into our lives aboard our Westsail 32 sailboat. We will feature the joys and challenges of living aboard, the ongoing projects, our plans and goals, and little adventures.
Having purchased the boat of our dreams and moved aboard in the past year, we are still new to this life and eager to share it with others!
We don't care if you sail or not. We know many that motor most of the time and just anchor out. We liked your videos. Just let us know what you are doing once in a while.
Great, helpful video! Can you tell us where you got the Solar Vent? And do you think you could run it just with the solar vent, without separate power to the AirHead’s fan?
These people installed a toilet, and then vanished from the face of the earth. It's been 7 years since anyone has seen them, or their boat. I guess the Bermuda Triangle got them.
Hey there, are you guys still on RU-vid? Or do you have another channel? Would love to ask you a few questions about living on a Westsail 32 year around. Cheers Franck
So glad I found your channel and this video. Just pulled the entire black water system on our Irwin Citation 34 and it was a horror show. Hoping to install an Airhead but the shipping delays right now are 19 weeks according to their website. Cheers
Yeah, that looks like a Hans Christian, not a West Sail..... Just saying that's not a West sail cockpit, the ports are Hans Christian, I belive this boat is a Hans Christian 33T
Love the talking toilet!! I've heard the flies can come from the brick. Some people microwave it first and others put in the freezer for 24 hours after buying. Both methods will kill the fly eggs.
I'm thinking of getting one but I'm confused over two things. First, where do you empty it? Second, is there not an old fashioned outhouse smell coming out the vent on deck?
I'm a camper van guy but that doesn't matter in this case. Most people just toss the used material into a garbage bag and toss it in the bin. You should not use human waste in an edible garden. The only smells you should get it an earthy, dirt smell depending on the medium you use. If you smell anything other than that, something is wrong.
Apparently you used what is termed a bugle head screw to secure the unit at the overhead. A pan head or washer head screw is a better choice as over tightening a bugle head can break plastic especially near its edge. Nice boat!
the question to the ladies, how about your monthly time? Do you have to clean extra the side you go pee?? We are buying this kind of toilet !! This is why I am asking about it.
Thanks for such a lovely video. Very impressive vessel and loved your approach to film making which was both fun and very informative. All the very best
An amazingly detailed review of the Airhead. This is what my wife and I are going to purchase for our 30ft Tartan Sailboat. We are not liveaboards yet however, we do plan on becoming liveaboards within the next year. We just bought our boat and are wondering how to make the transition since she is not liveaboard friendly just yet. We need to install a shower and remove the black tank when we install this. We could really use some advise and well help to convert our boat to be a more liveaboard friendly boat. Could you guys assist us with this?
Thanks for keeping the comments open. I've a question that I've had problems asking. I promise to keep it clean as possible. Since our family has issues with #2, I was wondering how a compost toilet would work with our family issues. Sorry, but how well does it work with someone that usually has the runs when their #2 is runny or mostly watery?? I understand the composting toilet works best when the liquids are kept separate.
We don't yet have a boat but there's always a need for alternative ways of dealing with POO! LOL! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Ya'll did a great job of "handling" the subject with humor and good information. Thank you.❤🤗
How do you keep water from the outside vent from draining down into the fan cutout & unit and further into the solid waste container? It appears this vent is flat and flush to the deck topside, which is a means for water to enter, interested if there is a check valve or other means to prevent this from happening? The "no see'um" flies, just like weevils in grain, the eggs are in hibernation awaiting the right conditions to hatch, your little moist, o2 rich environment may work just fine. As for who is peeing in the compost, I'll give you two guesses and the first one doesn't count. Have a great day.
