Hi, I have no experience in high latitude sailing other than living at a tad over 57N. I use a Sig propane heater in my Bristol 35 which works well other than using lots of fuel, but I do not live aboard and mostly do day sailing in the winter. I was going to get a diesel heater but the sales people talked me out if it because they put out more heat than I could tolerate in my small saloon.
I think the book you were talking about tis "North To The Night" by Alvah Simon, ISBN 0-7679-0446-X. Great book but I think maybe it cleared my thoughts on trying to winter over in the Arctic. A couple of years ago a wooden schooner from Norway or Sweden spent the winter here in Sitka after doing the NW passage from East to West. Great boat, crew of 6 interesting Scandinavian adventurers. I think they were headed for the southern oceans next. j On Dec 1, 2007 5:52 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Hi, > Snips.... > > We are investigating the potential for a voyage to the Artic circle in > 2009.
