| Heater
Re Talbot post. We do not have a heater but I have considered a diesel unit. They are about $1500- Canadian. We have one long race in November that we do each year and sometimes it is only a couple of degrees. Being outside and steering for a few hours tends to slowly cool you off, so I switch for a while and that helps. If we were cruising in that temperature I would not have to steer for so long and could go below or hide behind a dodger. Being in fresh water I drain the engine every time we use it from October to late March. Some years we do not use the boat at all during December January and February. I have been out in the North Sea in January on cousins fishing boat and in lousy weather. BC Mike C
