Nope... but I'm not putting a fan and dehumidifier onboard for the winter.

I left nothing on the boat like blankets and pillows etc. It is stripped
clean each year. I live in Nova Scotia... it's wet here.

We take everything off except the cushions, which I flip....it's wet here,
too.

Isn't it a bit cold to be sailing naked this early in the season?

You bet! Slept on the hook last night with temp around 36F....brrrr....2
peoples and a poodle crammed into the v-berth with every quilt, blanket, and
throw on the boat...ran the boat in to the docks this morning and went to
get breakfast..came back to blowing like snot which was nice for the
Melges34/J24 regatta...and no water turned on yet so our cleaning project
has been delayed until tomorrow when it's supposed to at least hit
60....every time Mr Sials complained about the cold I reminded him about how
much he hates Florida....
