If you want insulation to cut down on condensation etc I don't think you could go far wrong taking a similar route to Roger Tayloe on Ming Ming:

An inch may be a bit OTT unless you plan some high latitude sailing......

Thanks for that, what a great website, videos.
An inch a bit too much. Swmbo does cool but not Arctic Cold! :)


We have just had a talk at HOG -( Henley Offshore Group), by Pete Webb, the only man recorded to sail and row in an open engineless boat with friend around Spitsbergan.

These videos certainly give another view of this beautiful yet potentially dangerous environment.

talking about cold have you noticed how things get more difficult as you grow old?

this seems an appropriate moment to tell you of a little story...


'It's Hell to be Old'.

An 85-year-old man was requested by his
Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.

The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take
this jar home and bring back a semen sample
tomorrow.”

The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared
at the doctor's office and gave him the jar,
which was as clean and empty as on the
previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man
explained, “Well, doc, it's like this. First I tried
with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried
with my left hand, but still nothing.

“Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with
her right hand, then with her left, still nothing.
She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in,
then with her teeth out, still nothing.

She even called up Arleen, the lady next door
and she tried too, first with both hands, then an
armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between
her knees, but still nothing.”

The doctor was shocked! “You asked your
neighbour?”

The old man replied,
“Yep! None of us could get the jar open!”
