Living in Florida, on a sailboat, in a marina, in summer makes having air conditioning close to a necessity. Our current unit has stopped removing humidity from the boat interior and is only cooling the boat a few degrees. When our interior temperature 86 degrees inside, and it was about 90 outside. We have successfully employed multiple strategies to keep the interior cooler than the exterior, even though our air conditioner was failing:
- Boom tent
- Bow tent
- Fans, strategically placed to move air through the interior
- Insulation
- Retro fit car window shades
- Portable air conditioning unit
- Shade hatches
We have recently purchased a newer, more powerful airconditioner that keeps the indoor temperatures comfortable during the day despite the temperature and humidity--oh, what a few more thousand BTUs can do.
