I'm sailing my Catalina in Sydney Harbour, Australia, and require a portable cabin heater for, at most, 3 months each winter.
I'm looking at what is available and have come across a Corona kerosene heater, maximum output 2.4kw. Has anyone any advice
re safety, stowage, alternative heater, etc.... I'd only be using the heater while at anchor or on a mooring. Looks like the Corona will
fit nicely on a plinth on the the floor of my forward cabin. Appreciate any advice.
Jack,
There are usually two other things you need with a kerosene heater. Alcohol to light the wick, and a fan above to distribute the air. If you have the opportunity to see one in action, you should. Mine's quite loud.
Good luck.
