Best way to dry out wet cabinetry?

[motorb 35]

Everything is out of the boat and the cabin airing out, but I don't have the power to run a dehumidifier or anything like that. Fibreglass hull and (so far) fresh water only so some positives there I guess?

Current plan is a dozen damp-rids and leave the 12v fan running overnight when I can't have her open, and even then I'll set the hatches to allow a draft.

Theres wet timber all around the base of the cabinetry, the floor boards are in the cockpit for now, sails have gone to a loft to dry out and the carpet probably was due for replacement anyway I guess.

Any advice from some saltier sailors than myself? Maybe some impossibly low power dehumidifier magic?

 

Asking for a friend of course.....

While its not raining (for now) open everything up and let the breeze blow through fresh water will dry.

As Waikiore says open all the hatches and let the current warm weather and any breeze do the trick, your "friend" was  lucky its only fresh water it should be fine:-)

Hello there motor b,  Is there any venting in forward end of the boat...are you / they on a mooring or  fixed mooring / pontoon.

I ask as to attain were the predominate breeze to boat is coming from  , if on a mooring the wind is essentially coming from the bow as the boat weather cocks into position....harder to plan in pontoon pens . If on swing mooring maybe start looking at a Dorade vent up front  and another down aft to have a cyclic system to move air that also limits water into the boat ; ie wave whilst underway and rain at rest. They are a Passive Smart device but need special consideration to where and how to fit. Small plastic versions from chandler to handmade timber pvc metal versions     but.. Speak to a shipwright / boatbuilder Its not something to get wrong.
