[C320-list] A/C Return Air Grill Size

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Jack,

As a southern california boater, I thought the same thing--who the hell needs AC in a sailboat...

Well, then I attended the Chicago and Baltimore regattas and I'm here to tell you, if you are at a marina on a windless, 90F, 90% humidity night and you don't have AC....well, I'm sure that's what hell feels like...

Since we take off for Mexico in October and then on to the So Pacific in 2011, when I bought my CM440, I installed 2- 16,000 btu units tied to a 8KW AC generator so I could enjoy nice cool nights while it roasted outside...

How about this: open the forward hatch and the main salon portholes and 
enjoy the breeze. Air conditioning in a sailboat? Sheesh.
