T&T: Is air conditioning necessary?

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Re-think, yes. Before I bought Seahorse in 2004, I had decided to  buy, new,
a popular 47 foot trawler, but balked at the cave-like  atmosphere below decks
as well as the lack of opening ports and hatches. Older  boats, like older
guys, rule!

its really a function of how builders assemble boats. Gluing in a
window  is faster and cost less than making good opening windows. Plus you
no longer  have leaky windows to contend with. The downside being these
boats become  energy use intensive and require air conditioning most of the
times.
Time  for a rethink on boat design isn't it?
