[C320-list] Head ventilation

[Kaare Wold]

We keep the head door open a couple inches with a Perko cabin door hook that 
we got from the big box national marine supply company that we all use.  It 
holds the door secure and open just those couple of inches to allow for 
ventilation while away from the boat.  Does not have that cheap appearance 
like those from the hardware store for your screen doors at home.  Works 
great and looks good.

Lou,

We installed a small 12v fan which is attached to the shelf trim just above 
the aft of the sink head. Also, since we have never used the shower, we 
installed teak louvers in the bottom of the head door. When leaving the boat 
for more than a day, we prop the door open a couple of inches with a bungee 
cord and leave the hatch open @1/2 inch.
