[Rhodes22-list] boat ventilation

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

I'm really surprised that there has been no comment on stern-to anchoring.  Try it, you'll like it.  It will provide good results with little effort, even if you don't scoop.  the companionway alone presents a cross-section area larger than even the largest hatch opening.  Has no one tried this?

>If the scoop is still made of vinyl rubber and forced-fitted into the foredeck hole, better ask Stan about leakage when it rains or you get a wave over it. Ours leaked from the beginning and we have not used it since '84. When sleeping out on a very hot night with  screened side windows of the dodger wide open, we occasionally use a 12 volt plug in fan we got from West Marine's predecessor years ago.
