seems pretty pricie ($169) for something that is just galvinized stamped
steel. The old time ones were cast steel. Might last out in the wood, in
fresh water, but my galvanized squeeze wringer only lasted about 18 month in
sea water (and I was faithful about rinsing it off).

The biggest job is wringing them out.. Hand wringing is hard on some
cloths,
like tee shirts and sweaters etc. A good old fashioned hand crank
wringer
would be great but they are hard to find.

Try Lehman Hardware, Kidron, Ohio located in the middle of an Amish
community.

They have a web site.

My father in law uses a bucket and small toilet plunger. Note, the plunger
is virgin to the commode.

Hi there,

I am wondering how most of you do the cloth washing while sailing. I have
seen some pictures of sailboats with washing machines, but this is
probably
a little extreme. I have used a bucket and water, and some special washing
powder, and hand washed the clothing. This is a lot of work. Any tips? Of
course washing a lot of cloths when in a port...

Thanks!

Haakon
