The only thing her boat does not have that I insist on before we do any
summertime cruising is air conditioning. I've talked to Kingman and they
will be installing one in the engine room this winter.

I assume you will get reverse cycle A/C that can also heat? It's a
nice thing on chilly mornings.


Yup. CruiseAir or similar. I'd like to get one unit that is big enough to
handle the cabin, aft stateroom and V berth area. I was thinking that maybe
6" supply ducts could be used with dampers to adjust individual air flow
rates. The larger return would obviously be in the main cabin. Might have
to give up one of the drawers under a seat for it. I am thinking a
13,500 -15000 BTU would do it, but not sure. We will also have to add a
second, 30 amp service I think.

I've been on the Navigator for the past three days doing a major clean-up.
The need for air conditioning is over but it sure is nice turning them on
for heat in the morning. It was 39 degrees here when I got up today.
