phil (and others): some folks have installed 'solar vents'. i've never seen in person installed on an M15 (only pictures). i have seen on P15s ... the owners were 'non commital' that it improved the 'air' in the cabin. see this for 'sale page' of an M15 with one installed - http://bellingham.craigslist.org/boa/678505894.html when i purchased SCRED i was nervous about there being no 'vents' in the M15 cabin. as i have only sailed SCRED on puget sound i've never found the cabin 'hot' or 'stuffy'. must be that 52-degree heat sink that is the sound ;-) dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-page: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Thu, 6/26/08, Phil & Frances <srelt@iclub.org> wrote: From: Phil & Frances <srelt@iclub.org> Subject: M_Boats: Ventilation To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Date: Thursday, June 26, 2008, 7:09 PM The M 15 is stuffy and hot. Have any of your owners ventilated yours so sleeping there is really possible? If so what did you use to do the job? Any secrets to doing the job? Any brand names of equipment to share? And would you recommend doing it? Phil
