T&T: Aft Cabin Ventilation

[Pascal Gademer]

it really depends on how well you can "tolerate" heat...  I'm fine 9 months 
out of 12 in so fl using just a big AC fan (running on inverter) with the 7 
open portholes in my aft cabin. (2 on each side, 3 on the stern), plus the 
overhead escape hatch.

on the other hand some people can't handle that and need 70 deg to fall 
asleep...
