Hi, i have a question for those who might be willing to help.

My question is, whether removing what im guessing can be called
insulation material (see attached photo, 100_1191.JPG), would be out of
the question during wheather-conditions ranging from -7 degrees celsius
night, to +1 in the day?

This concerns a 1971 sailboat, Hurley 22.

The condition of the paint/interior gelcoat behind this "insulation
material" is not too good. Here and there, the fiberglass shows.
The "insulation material" itself is in awful condition, as you can see
on picture 100_1226.

Generally the interior is a bit moist, as you can see on the picture
100_1225, which shows what it looks like underneath the cushions.

The thing is, i would like to(/need to) get working on this boat as
quick as possible.

Best regards, Martin

The boat inside is the same or very close to the temperature outside.

I'd take out everything that's damp or wet, dry it out and go over
everything with bleach and water.

If the foam or whatever insulation is moldy, throw it out.

Mold grows due to moisture and the lack of air circulation.

I just reformulated the question, it occured to me that it might be misunderstood as "will it be too cold to be in the boat if the insulation material is removed?", or something like that.

Thanks, thats what i want to do. But do you think the bad conditioned glassfiber/gelcoat/paint underneath can take being bared to the cold?
