BE COOL

Sailors in southern latitudes enjoy great sailing conditions during the winter but not so much during the height of summer, when heat and humidity can turn a sailboat’s cabin into a sweatbox. There are some fine marine air-conditioning units around, but their bulk restricts the size of boat they’ll fit into. The three models that comprise Webasto’s new BlueCool A-series air handlers are all different shapes, making it easier to find one that fits a particular boat. Cooling capacities range from 4,000 to 36,000 BTU/hour. All models are equipped with Webasto’s Instant Drain Condensate Management System, which all but eliminates water spills. They can also be fitted with heating elements. From $1,300. Webasto, webasto-marine.com
