Practical effects
- Use of the yacht is restricted; guests cannot stay aboard without cooling.
- High humidity on board puts soft furnishings and joinery at risk of mould; interim dehumidification is needed.
- Crew time goes into managing temperature and humidity.
For other owners
- Keep a dated log of days without reliable cooling, separate from the correspondence log.
- Photograph interior areas at risk before any remediation.
- Plan interim cooling early, since a replacement plant can take months to arrive.
