I had a 16,000 BTU air conditioner in Cool Change (38LF) when I lived in Florida. I could turn the main cabin/V-birth into a meat locker when the outside temp was 100 degrees. Mounted in the same place as mentioned below. I removed and sold it when I moved to the Great North West and started racing.
Frank Noragon S/V Cool Change C&C 38LF, s/n: 001 Rose City Yacht Club Portland, Oregon From: Robert Boyer via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2015 7:55 AM To: PME ; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Marine AC options for LF38 I have a Marine Air system on my Landfall 38--it is 12,500 Btu unit and is is located in a cabinet beneath a set of drawers on the starboard side just forward of the head. I selected the unit because it was the best fit in the space I had available. I did the installation myself and I have ducting running into the v-berth and the aft cabin as well as in the main salon. I have found that if you use plenty of well distribued vents and small fans to help move the air around, 12,500 Btu's is plenty. 16,000 Btu would be better (particularly in Florida) but the 12,500 Btu unit served me well as a liveaboard in Maryland. The unit has worked flawlessly for about 12 years. The biggest problem I have had have been with jellyfish being sucked up in to the inlet water filter during the summer.
