Ventillation E32-200

[tamaynes]

I'm considering the purchase of an Ericson 32-200 but have noted that it has no cabin dorades or other means of cabin ventillation. Why is this not an issue? We will sail her in cool waters where the hull is likely to sweat at times. Has anyone had to add a vent mod? If so, how?

Thanks,
Tom

AFAIK these models, like most 80's models built by Ericson Yachts, came standard with two hatches with a lockable "vent" position, and lots of opening ports.
As to having more vents for when the cabin is locked and ports closed, we added a couple of Beckson Vent-o-mate SS vents on our boat about a decade ago, one over the head and the other over the aft cabin. Along with the Lewmar hatches being on their vent position, we have ample air circulation in the damp Pacific NW.
