    Wool blankets. They'll keep you warm even if they're wet.

    "There are three positions for the sails - in, halfway, and out. Anything else is the effete fiddling of dinghy sailors."
     H. W. Tilman: as quoted in Optimum Cruising by "Yachting Monthly", March, 1990, p. 5.

      Howdy all:

      What do people do about bedding on a cruising boat? I would probably
      be happy with sleeping bags if I was looking to spend a weekend or two
      on a boat, but I think that I want something more comfortable for an
      extended cruise. My question is what do you use for a comforter? I
      would think that a typical home comforter would quickly get damp and
      smelly, and would be impossible to dry out. I was thinking that an
      unzipped sleeping bag with a nylon interior might be warm and easy to
      dry. Lay down a bottom sheet, a top sheet and the comforter.

      What are people using on their boats these days? What are everyone's
      thoughts on this?

      Thanks
      Chris
