Fixing our Boat's Moisture Problem // Living on a Sailboat in Canada Ep. 11
February 12, 2021 by Blue Moon Life | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:30 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this video, we try to fix the moisture problem on the boat. Moisture is a big challenge when living aboard, especially during the winter. The lower temperature outside causes water vapour to condense on the inside walls and drip underneath the bed. We have managed to improve this issue by adding insulating foam under the bed and in this video, we add a small dehumidifier.
After the first couple of days, the dehumidifier seems to be making a difference, even with unusually cold weather for this time of year.
Thanks so much for watching and for everyone who leaves us helpful comments in the description! We have so much to learn from the sailing community and it is really helping us get this boat into shape.
If you are new to the channel, we live aboard full time on a 1978 Catalina 30 sailboat. If you liked this video, you can check out our earlier videos by going to the channel!
Thanks again,
J + G
