Back in the day when we cruised, the north coast of Venezuela was our refuge from the hurricanes in the Caribbean basin. Specifically a remote area East of Puerto La Cruz called "Mochima" which has a desert like topography similar to the Baja peninsula. Heat management was key and the difference of a few degrees down below determined if it was livable at all. After one season of suffering we were ready for the next time. I think you will find most Zero (see what I did there lol) latitude vessels use a similar strategy.

1. Get the decks covered from the sun by using full boat awning system. Mast to back-stay, mast to fore-stay. Use topping lifts and extra halyards to lift and support the main awning section. Use fitted poles or battens to shape the awning to your vessel. Roll down side curtains are a must. The downside is that this configuration is cumbersome for short stays in a harbor, better suited for longer stays.

2. Maximize airflow through hatches by using scoops, wind socks and fashion mosquito netting on all openings. Even when there is no wind, having the hatches open creates air movement in the entire area under the awning/canopy.

3. Plenty of small fans. We used the Hella brand and they typically lasted 2-3+ years. I have no idea if these are now offshored, so current models may differ in life expectancy. In the galley, in the nav area, in the salon, over all berths, two even! You can not have enough. The 100amps for the day is well worth it. Airflow over your sweating skin as we all know brings relief.

And most importantly, as a wise man on the beach once told me:

Drink More
Wear Little
Move Less

Man that drone really gets up there. So glad to see Faith coming back and I'm sure you are too.

Is Faith and german name, i come from denmark . And cant recall the name ass one used in scandinavien or even in germany

Guy Depoorter - 5 years ago

Beautifull scenery, the joy of protected waters..... Most Americans sail with airco, is it worth spending money on that? So next job, new big hatches, you can start..... now.
Bonne chance.

What wonderful news of Faith's return to you and Zero! Having her as your shipmate will, once again, enhance all of your travels and life in general. So looking forward to her return!

You're a good boy, but you talk too much. Talking head, talking head, talking head.

More hatches and more fans don't always help, If you are going to stay in those warmer climate areas I would suggest a portable air conditioner they are reasonably small and do a great job in cooling, then just pack it away when its not in use ......... Keep Cool and Safe

Solution for hot: Lithium batteries and A/C unit for aft cabin! Cost about 10K USD.

Frederic Koning - 5 years ago

The solution is to set sail for the open ocean! Hope you managed to endure and pick up Fay! All the best to you!

Get a fan and a bucket of water with a towel you can wet yourself down with.

Fans, fans, fans. It’s always worst in a marina but at least you have shore power?

Tim Harris - 5 years ago

You need to pick up a mister system next time your in home depot and a sprayer you can pump up to pressurize your fresh water source for the misters. It should drop the ambient temperature somewhat, its what we do in the Arizona summer.
