Smaller models of boat dehumidifiers may not be effective in reducing the humidity in a boat, depending on its size. With a large dehumidifier you'll be able to extract 10 litres a day. They can be more effective to keep the level of humidity at between 30-50 %.
Good feature of a dehumidifier is an automatic drainage system.  
If you can't control the wind, adjust your sail

Luckily, my (GRP) boat doesn't mind being wet!

The house on the other hand, being full of damp sailing kit and sails ......

I bought a "new kind of" de-humidifier which doesn't use refrigerant but a dessicant disk instead.  Works right down to a few degrees C.

Supposed to be good for garages and boat sheds.

Ours is in the house and has been happily extracting many litres since its arrival.  Quiter than the old type too.

Managed to get a susbtantial one from Cash Converters!



They have a frost protection thing built in which cuts in if it gets too cold. Saves it freezing up.

...just remember the whole thing about dew point....

They work fine above an ambient 12'c but thereafter they start to get a bit inefficient and lower down in the winter freeze up.

A cheap one with a good thermostatic heater will dry out a boat quite nicely and quickly  in the winter. Thereafter if you keep the boat sealed up, the bilge dry and a cover or indoors then it will come out maybe a mild winter day and weekend in the spring near season start.
