ABYC = CO
This is not a law, USCG CFR'S yet, but is recommended on all yachts now, and the coasties have been know to follow the ABYC tests. A diesel heater is likley the safest, I am 'paranoid' of sleeping with ANY heater on, prefer a down comforter meself. I always took the chill off with the propane stove, then turned it OFF, but you need more below freezing. Peter in Sydney, love Victoria, and I lived in Banff so bicycled into Calgary down the Bow river, a bit over a hundred K. You Kanucks know that @ minus 40 centigrade and farinheit cross? Yes, they are the same temp, learned that while on a seismic crew working in the Canadian arctic above Resolute Bay.
