Looking at transitioning to liveaboard status on my 32-3, I've been considering insulation in the cabin, especially in the wake of an especially WINTER week here in Seattle. Today I looked around and it struck me that the mast itself is quite cold and likely sucks up a lot of heat, and maybe it'd do well to wrap it in a layer of thin, closed-cell foam - maybe 1/2 or 3/4 in thick.
I could make it even fancier and have the foam in a Sunbrella sleeve that would zip up for easy on/off. Anyone consider insulating their keel-stepped mast before, and have any thoughts or ideas on this?
