[Public-list] insulating the ice box

[David Parkes]

During the trip on "Sapphira" we noticed that the ice box worked well while 
sailing but poorly while motoring (we motored a lot on the Richelieu River). 
If I were to keep the boat I would install moralised insulation in the 
engine compartment between the exhaust elbow and the wall of the ice box.
