We have a monohull with AC. We use it in the marina due to mosquitos and heat. At anchor, even in the hottest months with low winds and high humidity, there are hours when we would like to use but never entire nights or days. We spent four weeks on our boat in October/November with rain a couple of times every night, that was occasionally annoying. But, my lady no longer has the hot flashes and I just pop up to the cockpit for a lookaround to cool off quickly.
Cheers, RickG

Jul55 said: Five years ago when we sailed our boat didn't have AC. This one does. Do you think we will want it? Thinking it might be so noisy. Hmmm A/C is already there so you decide if you need/want it while onboard instead of asking others. Everyone's different.

I find we use it at night in still anchorages or during a particularly rainy time ( we go in early November) Otherwise the Caribbean breezes seem to do ok.

SuburbanDharma said: If we're onboard, chances are good that the a/c is running, even if it's set somewhere in the upper-70's. I find that everything dries better when you can get the humidity out of the air, too. After about 2 or 3 days of sailing it seems like your towels never quite dry otherwise. or bathmat.
