THE “HEAD MISTRESS" OUR FEATURED PRESENTER

Peggie Hall is nationally recognized in the boating industry as one of the few experts in marine sanitation, and is often referred to as "the Head Mistress." She has written several articles for major boating magazines, is often asked to speak at conferences and conduct seminars for various organizations and at major boat shows, and has been a consultant to many state agencies. For more than 20 years she also hosted plumbing and sanitation forums on many online boating sites, beginning even before the internet as we know it today existed with the Sailing Forum on CompuServe.  Her comprehensive article "Marine Sanitation: Fact vs. Folklore,” first published in 1994, was long considered the most definitive guide to US marine sanitation laws, various types of equipment, installation, operation, maintenance and odor control.  Her book “Get Rid of Boat Odors! – A Boat Owner’s Guide to Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor,” was the first book ever written devoted entirely to that subject and has been a best seller in every English-speaking country, followed by the updated, revised and expanded sequel “The NEW Get Rid of Boat Odors” in 2016. They are still the only books devoted entirely to marine sanitation and odor issues.
