Ventillation in an R-23

[cruz-in]

Hi All,

Just looked at an R-23 today.

With the Glass skylights (loved them) and radiant heat, ventilation will be real important during warmer sunny days.

As I recall there were 4 opening hatches in roof, 2 sliding side windows, 2 opening hatches in the V-berth. A side opening port on each side in the v-berth/bathroom, the rear door, and the huge rear lift up window for ventilllation. Seemed to us that would be plenty of ventillation.

Any R-23 owners used thier boats on a 90+ degree day yet? If so what were your thoughts on ventillation?

Thanks

Moving with everything open there is a nice flow of air. Stopped with no breeze it can get hot but what doesn't in 90+ degrees. Comes with covers for the skylights of which we have not tried yet but should cut down on the radiant heat issue.

I've enjoyed mine even during 95 degree high humidity days. The air flow at 30 mph does help! Very comfortable cruising even at slow speeds.
