Yep, that's my boat. Really piss poor, it's like shite loft lagging in plastic bags about 1" thick. Oh dear!
Half the boat (my end) basks in glorious heat from the multi fuel stove.
Then there's a walk through bathroom, then a bed/sitting room for my son.
This is a great arrangement as the bathroom provides an air-lock between us when we like.
But in the rear the roof panels are wringing wet.
It's easy to get far too hot in the stove bit, so I was thinking a high level duct to bypass the bathroom might spread enough heat to the rear. The cold can come back under the bathroom doors, there are large gaps.
I'm interested in any views as to whether this would work. Perhaps add a computer fan too.
Thanks for reading.

Actually the so called insulation is white fluffy stuff between two black sheets of very thin felty stuff. Buggeration!
I'm thinking the best way forward might be to fit another multi-fuel stove in the rear, the room is 15ft long. Hmmm.
Next year I might rip out the rear panelling and insulate properly but rather not!

ah, stop moaning the lot of you.
this morning I put my thermal undies on and walked the dogs, as warm as bad day in Abu Dhabi.
we need more clothes, not more hot air.

Our previous boat needed a bit of help getting heat into the heads,the solution was a 90mm pooter fan in the top of the bulkhead between the heads and the saloon. The fan drew air from the hottest part of the saloon and this worked a treat, you could feel the hot air blowing out of the vent in the bottom of the heads door. Phil

Phil Hmmm, sounds like you have a lot of hot air in your head if you can feel it blowing out! Are you sure its coming from your head and not lower down?

Back boiler on the stove and radiator in the cabin?

Second solid fuel stove is the answer. As you are sharing the boat with another adult and its big enough to accommodate you both independently (to an extent) you are going to have to put in separate stoves.
Being in charge of your own stove an heating arrangements is very important. I:d hate to live on a boat where someone else was managing the heating.
Forget boilers just stick two fires in there and get a bow saw for the lad.
Villager puffin is a pretty good smaller sized stove which has the advantage of a fixed grate which doesn't get burnt out or get jammed by nails.

I'd go for the independent stove and bow saw approach if I were in lollygagger's situation.

I would go with ducting from as close to the min stove as possible with either a PC fan or a small bilge fan. Or as suggested better still a small separate stove if there is some where to fit it. Some great small ones about. Or make one This cost be about £80 i think, was a while since i made it.
