If you are in the slip and have 110v shore power - Caframo makes a little ceramic heater that is perfect - compact and quiet.

Chapter 25 of Parday's <i>The Cost Conscious Cruiser</i> is entirely devoted to vetilation. The earlier post here frightened me enough to either layer the clothes and tolerate the cold or pay the 35 bucks and get a slip with shore power.

On the wasp, we use an electric heater, plugged into the outlet by the sink. We leave it on our top step and close everything up. Except the last of four hatchboards. It brings the temp in the entire cabin to about 75. It works great for those april an

Geeez Im almost sorry I said anything. I do realize the dangers of using anything that burns oxygen in an enclosed enviroment. Even using the stove with an inverted clay pot to create heat can cause the same problems. I think I did mention to keep the hat
