If you retain the warm air, without somehow constantly offloading it's water
load, inside the boat, the humidity will gradually, inexoribally, rise to 100
percent when condensation will be everywhere.
There are only two ways to dump the water. Condensate it into liquid and
dump it overboard, or blow it outdoors replacing it with dry outside air.
Your choice.
Me, I go south in the winter.
But if I had to stay north, I would insulate the hell out of every part of
the interior that gets cold. Then I would rig gutters under the windows that
get the wettest in cold weather and put CPU muffin fans blowing on them to
make them into dehumidifiers.
I have used both styrofoam sheet and clear (actually translucent) contact
paper to double glaze a couple of windows. If you do this put a silica gel
packed in the void.
