[Rhodes22-list] boat ventilation

[Caesar Paul]

Arthur,
 
I can see the value of anchoring stern to, particularly on a hot day, or night with little wind.  Whatever wind is there will flow into the wide open campanion way into the cabin.  It the biggest entry way to the enclosed area of the boat.  With the shade of bimini, and the wind coming at you in the cockpit; sounds like "life in London."
 
Will definitely try it this season Art.
 
Caesar

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?

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.
