Finally got to the boat this weekend and discovered it was really quite damp. Having heard the tales of dehumidifiers bursting into flames we stopped using one on the last boat and tended not to have a damp problem.
So what ist he current thinking dehumidifier or not? If yes, which one is recommended?
A further question, new boat is a cat and the only seacock which can conveniently be used for a drain is the galley sink in the starboard hull. I rather think that a dehumidifier would b better situated on the bridgdeck between the two hulls with a pipe to the sink. I am concerned that this would leave the hulls to get damp so am considering a greenhouse type heater in each hull. Schoolboy physics suggests to me that the warmer air should rise and be dealt with by the dehumidifier. Wishful thinking, or could it work? If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks.
