Jeff, you not only sound like an idiot...you are one. Can you explain
the advantage of not having AC on board??? Is it too heavy??? Too
complicated for you? Too expensive??? To nice to be comfortable on
really hot days when fixing that head of yours? You're courting a heat
stroke, dude.


Let me explain for you bubbles. Your boat is to small. You need all the
space you have.

AC's take lots of maintainance, need major power, and are heavy. My
friends now sailing down the coast of S. America tossed both AC's off
the P 40 before taking off. They needed the space, did not want the
hassles, and they knew they would be on the hook never pluging in. They
put lots of fans aboard that are 12 volt, have a wind scoop and needed
to loose weight ...which having no AC's helps to accomplish. If you had
proper tropical canvas to shade your boat that would help you on hot
days. What they did for comfort was install a solar panel and wind gen
to run the fans inside 24/7 if needed. Thats what I suggest you do.

Now we have not had a day that the "feels like temp" has not been
under 107 for a month or two now. We have shade canvas and lot's of
AC's but we have the room and the power to run them.
