Peggie Hall first entered the marine business in 1987, when she formed Peal Products, which was the first company in the marine industry to focus exclusively on onboard sewage management issues and the elimination of odors on boats. In addition to the Peal Products line of environmentally friendly sanitation and cleaning products (which were soon given outstanding performance ratings by Powerboat Reports and Practical Sailor), Peal Products was a distributor for every major US manufacturer of marine toilets, MSDs, and related equipment and accessories. Mrs. Hall is recognized in the boating industry as one of the few experts in marine sanitation, and is often referred to as ?the Head Mistress.? As a member of ABYC, she was a member of a sanitation project technical committee formed to establish a standard for sanitation equipment and installation onboard from its inception in 1991 through completion of its work in 1996. She has written a number of articles for major boating magazines, is often asked to speak at conferences, conduct seminars for various organizations and at major boat shows, and is a consultant to a number of state agencies. Her comprehensive article ?Marine Sanitation: Fact vs. Folklore? was considered the most definitive guide to US marine sanitation laws, various types of sanitation equipment, proper installation, operation, maintenance and odor control ever written. In 1999 Peggie Hall sold Peal Products to Raritan Engineering, Inc., a major manufacturer of marine toilets, the Lectra/San and PuraSan (Type I MSDs), and other marine equipment. She is now an independent consultant. See less
