[C320-list] C320-list Digest, Vol 4429, Issue 1

[Jeff Hecht]

If you search for air-conditioning installation on the c320.org site, that should be helpful—lots of ideas.

From what I saw doing my research, many put it in the stern lazarette and used the door to the aft bunk for intake and ran a duct to up higher, and then also ran a duct by the breadbox in the galley for the cabin. There are more elaborate options that require a good deal of carpentry.

What I am wondering about is how others have routed the ducting into the cabin. Ideally, I would like to have separate vents for the aft cabin, main living space, head, and v-berth. The aft cabin is easy and I'm wondering if I can feed ducting under the galley floor to bring it out under the sinks. I'm not sure how feasible it is to get to the head and v-berth, so I'm looking for ideas.
