Ran my home made cabin heater last night
Sounds like a good ideal. Better patent it first.

any noticeable problems with condensation in the cabin?

None at all last night.

They make the cabin warm, toasty, and inviting. Great for on the hook in the North Channel. Max |

CN,
Why in the Hell would you run a heater at night while sleeping? Don't you use Blankets and sheets or a sleeping Bag with liner? That my friend, has me doubting your whole post. If you had said you ran your heater all day or to get the chill off during a chilly evening, until going to bed. Any sailor worth his salt would never waste fuel while sleeping. Even if the temperature was below freezing, which I'm sure it wasn't in Florida, a warm boat before going to sleep would last till morning. The Post sounds strangely familiar to the broken mooring line story. A make believe. Lines don't brake in the middle and Sailors don't use fuel while sleeping in moderate Climates. Ole Thom |
I don't have my whole life to try to convince you I am the real
Captain Neal. Just e-mail Katysails and she'll tell you I am who I am. I run my heater at night because it's cold at night. I don't have a bunch of blankets and sleeping bags because most of the year it is hot and who needs that stuff cluttering up the boat. A warm boat does not last till morning. I don't know what planet you've move to. CN "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ... CN, Why in the Hell would you run a heater at night while sleeping?

I don't think you understand the concept of the keys. Store blankets and
a sleeping bag in a 27 foot boat for the (maybe) 10 nights a year that they'd be needed? All those fumes from your engine must be collecting in the pilot house and effecting your reasoning.

Depends upon the chain. I must admit stainless steel anchor chain is a definite turn-on because it doesn't rust and it seems to shed mud and other bottom goo better because of the polished surface. It also looks so classy on the foredeck. Too bad it costs an arm and a leg. CN |

Congradulations on installing a heater for this winter. Good timing
Ole Thom |
"All that chain laying about?" You must think me a putz or something. I, too, keep most of the chain in the chain locker. However, there is the matter of the length that lies between the hawsepipe and the anchor itself. This amounts to a couple of feet on my yacht. Also there is the back-up anchor and rode which must be readily at hand for fast deployment. This I keep in a loose loop tied on the port side of the forward deck. The stainless steel chain is part of the rode of course. Any sailor who relies primarily on a single anchor and does not have a back-up ready to deploy immediately will sooner or later come to grief.
