How practical are they on board a small boat for clothes that one wishes to leave between visits ? Main thoughts are stopping kit becoming damp.

Hi has anybody come across a vacumed bag large enough to take a full size double bed appropriate 6' x 4'6" if I could put my mattress in one of those for the winter I could leave it on board?

We don't have winter, or not as you know it, so its not an issue
Its like all the talk of 'foul' weather gear - we need sailing gear to stop us getting skin cancer and keep us cool
You worry about mould we worry about salt water crocodiles, great white sharks and Ross River Fever
Different phobias

Fantastic, but make sure you buy good quality ones. The cheap ones I tried at first didn't hold the vacuum and soon puffed back up to original size. The linked ones held vacuum for an entire summer, and reduced the size of my winter duvet from "where the 'eck do i put this massive thing" to "oh neat, now it fits on top of the water tank under the bed". Also obviously you'll need a vacuum (or a hoover) if you actually want to flatten the contents. They will keep moisture out even if you don't, but make sure you have reasonably dry cabin air when packing things up, else you're just creating a mould greenhouse.
