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?

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.

Having had children and never having an air conditioner until they were well
grown, I don't see this as a problem. Thomas will be almost one by next
season...the problem is not whether they get hot but how hydrated they
are....push fluids is much more important than an AC...especially since you
live in a temperate climate...keep them dry, they don;t get the prickly
heat....it's all pretty basic stuff...why create false atmosphere for a
baby? Babies are both resilient and adaptable and should be exposed to
their climate so they adapt. Creating a false climate causes problems down
the road. The ;latest studies show a,amazing things about kids. Babies
that are brought up in super clean, animal-less environments tend to grow up
with allergies and asthma. kids that are allowed to get healthily dirty and
have pets are far more disease resistant down the line. Makes sense...your
average farm kid is as healthy as a horse whereas asthma seems to be a city
or suburb kid thing.

You're joking right?!!

You want to keep the baby cool!!!???

Look Bob... just make sure not to place in direct sunlight for extended
periods and continue with regular watering and feedings.

My kids have been on boats from birth.

I don't think that you will need advice from anybody.

Instinct will tell you that they need protection from sun, rain, and wind.
You will know if they are uncomfortable, or in any kind of distress.

You will automatically plan each day's sailing around the child.


Mother Nature has programmed you to protect your child.

You, and Suzanne will know when the time is right to take the baby out for
it's first sail.

Trust your instincts.

Hey idiot - just because you're hot doesn't mean the runt is. Air
conditioning can cause major lung problems. What not use water mist?

You're angling for a bigger boat.

And the idiot is asking baby questions on a sailing NG. For next

What's next, ''what do I do with the baby if it's raining outside next
