Not to mention the COLDER bulkheads of the hull DRIPPING with all that
water....yecch.
Not if you use a heat exchanger type. Polypropelene signboard
sandwiched loosely with geotex wick, seperate forced air through the
channels in the signboard and through the geotex channels comes out
a little more humid, but a condensation chamber and then a re-heater
using exhaust air can dry the slightly re-warmed, cooled, drier air.
Even an old radiator circulating sea water to cool air could be a
huge relief. The only power draw would be for the water pump and for
the fan, which needs to be a little stronger than a mere electric
motor fan cooled by the cabin air, a hugely inefficient comfort
generator, actually a heater.
