Ditto. Not a big fan of showering in public (cockpit etc) but will rinse on occasion after a swim with solar shower.
Also not a big fan of trudging ashore with kit and clothes to shower at the marina or yacht club. As Andy says...dry her off, keep the hatch open and it's all good. I like my privacy and a hot shower aboard is important part of the cruising amenities for which I bought her. 1981 40-2 Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Andrew Burton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: 7/6/17 10:40 AM (GMT-05:00) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Andrew Burton <a.burton.sai...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 40 question I use the shower on my boat all the time when I'm cruising or even if I've just gotten hot and sweaty from doing a project. My boat is a second home and I treat her like one; it's all part of being comfortable on board. The trick is to dry the head after every shower, you can't get away with leaving it wet. I keep the overhead hatch open and use one of those artificial chamois to dry all surfaces, bulkheads, and fixtures. An additional upside to this is that it keeps the head clean and smelling fresh. No problem with getting the inside of lockers wet as the louvers are angled to prevent that.

I could technically do this if I put the shower head back on, but actually taking a shower in a 35 or 40 involves spraying water all over the teak and presumably into the lockers.
