Single handed peeing.

[peterb]

I used to do a bit of rowing when at uni. One of our major races was the Tideway Head of the River, run from Mortlake to Putney. Since our boathouse was at Putney, the day started with a four-mile row up to Mortlake, where we had to wait for the start. They don't fit loos in racing eights, so we had to find a substitute. The usual method was to provide a pint milk bottle and a towel. This started at the bowman, who under cover of the towel used the bottle, emptied it overboard, passed it to number 2 and so on. After the cox had done his thing the bottle was quietly ditched over the side (to avoid having excessive weight on board).

If there's ever a shortage of milk bottles, I know how to make a killing!

Yeah, and apparently if the pilot upset one of the ground crew then a knot was tied in the rubber tube!!

I was taught that in bad weather it was safer to simpley pee in the cockpit. After all it is self draining and almost always self flushing, at least if the weather is bad enough to prevent a trip to the rail. The same went for being sea-sick.
If short handed the question of modesty does not arise..

not been to a garden center for a while - dont they have fitting rooms like all the shops my missus seems to take me too ?

Get yourself a plastic 'pee-bottle' - the type they offer in hospitals. Discrete, convenient, effective.

If it's all right for combat aircrew, it's all right for weebly yachties...!

Did you read page 1?

Buy a little pee bucket! The type kids play in the sand with. These buckets are small and it can be kept in the cockpit ready for use.

Regards.

And what if it's not big enough?

 

[landaftaf]

well if you use it whilst facing and leaning outboard it wont matter if it overflows

 

[Lakesailor]

So you may as well just pee overboard. Remembering to clip on.

 

[landaftaf]

its ungentlemanly to just pee overboard, at least is where I sailed.

 

[Lakesailor]

Quite so. But some of us are pretty ungentlemanly.

Interesting link, and very taken with the thoughtful ordering and fitting guide. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

But is this for the shaft or the helmet?

Think that must just be the pipe bore, cos they're all far to small to be the adaptor (I wish).
