Welcome to episode 197 of the Shooting The Breeze Sailing Podcast (STBSP) where we chat with guest Eric Brown from BoatAC.net and chat about all things boating, boat A/C, and all the options you have for your particular style of boating on the Chesapeake Bay and all around the world.
From dockside AC based units to off the grid 12v systems, you can check out Eric at BoatAC.net and get tips and tricks, troubleshooting, book a visit, get a quote for not only Air Conditioning, but also refrigeration, and even anti-Fouling.
Erics got a vast boating history and experience with the trades and entrepreneurship with his various endeavors over the years, and enjoys living aboard his 42ft sailboat in the Annapolis area during the sailing season, zipping around in his center console, and traveling the world installing systems across the globe in the offseason.
Some of the systems he mentions is a dock based Marine Air system, an off the grid Frogimar system, or something in between. We also chat about the Zero Breeze RV systems as a temporary solution.
We met up at Foxy’s in St. Michaels for Painkillers, then moved on to the Miles River YC for a Dark and Stormy. It was a fun day during our Hances Point YC club cruise hanging around St. Mikes and catching up with Eric.
We will also see you at the 2025 Annapolis Sailboat Show, hit us up if you plan on attending!
