Thanks...should be worth doing. You say this cuts down on interior heat by a
good margin?

I think they do, especially the forward hatch over the V berth. It is
pretty good sized relative to the smaller hatch in the main cabin and
is not "shaded" by the mainsail, as is the smaller hatch. If you are
really interested in cutting down the heat, the simplest way is to buy
the cheap automobile sunscreens from your nearest Walmart, which are
nothing more than the foil cover bubble insulation. Cut them to fit
your hatches and ports and wedge them into place when you leave the
boat.
My last boat, the C&C 33 was that dove gray color, hull and deck and
for some reason that boat was an oven down below. I don't know why,
but it was far hotter than other boats. Whether it was air
circulation, deck color or insulation, I can't say.
