What should you allow to circulate throughout the boat at all times, even in bad weather?

  1. Warm water

  2. Fresh air

  3. Cool air

  4. Heated air

The correct answer is: Fresh air

Circulation of fresh air is very important for any boat, especially in bad weather. This is because it helps prevent the buildup of moisture and condensation inside the boat, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. While warm and heated air may seem like good options, they can actually contribute to condensation and make the boat feel stuffy and uncomfortable. On the other hand, cool air may not provide enough ventilation and can also cause discomfort. Therefore, it is best to allow fresh air to circulate at all times to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment on board.
