I had an opening port installed in the front of the cabin on my M-15 several years ago. Provides flow through ventilation as well as sunlight into the cabin. I still see the ads for the ports in "Small Boat Advisor". The plant was located in Port Townsend on Puget Sound when I bought mine.

Although we'd sailed - and slept - in warm temperatures before, one uncomfortable part of the trip for me was lack of ventilation down by my feet in the bow of the boat at night. Maybe it was just not being used to the humidity, but my feet were dying for even a little bit of air! I figure I could improve ventilation with a fan circulating air in the cabin or with a vent through the deck near the bow. I wondered if anyone in this group has worked through this issue before. Ideas and suggestions appreciated! David Grah Bishop - California Montgomery 15 - Sky ----- No virus found in this message.
