Its no problem. Make sure you can lash a seat (old car seat, etc.) under the
dodger so he can stay out of the Sun. I don't recall having any "overheating"
issues while under way or at anchor or a mooring. Dockside, of course, can be a
problem, so you might want to fire up the A/C if you intend to stay dockside a
lot. When Amelia was born, we moved to a marina (Constitution Marina) that had
a small swimming pool, so Mother and Baby could hang out there if I was fiddling
with the boat.

This brings up another point. Thomas can take swimming lessons at the "Y" (and
other places) starting at about 6 months.

This season is wrapping up and Thomas may get one or two sails in, but I'm
concerned about the hot months next year. How do couples keep babies cool
under
sail on hot days? I see them sailing, but I still have concerns. I have a AC
system for the boat (not installed), but it would require a small genset to
keep running under sail. Thoughts from kiddie-cruiser experts out there?
