Re: Bestevaer 49ST

We have a very light blue/grey color on the decks and while it's a tad warmer than the white side trim, it never gets hot. We are very happy with it. Been enjoying your thread, I'd pitch a tent...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Most serious sailers from my home port, Vancouver BC,have heat. Every boat I have owned has had a heater. It not only warms the boat but keeps it dry. The drip pots work well at anchor as long as...

Re: Bestevaer 49ST

Re: Bestevaer 49ST
