For heating, ventilation and air-conditioning distribution and control purposes, the boat is divided into the zones in the next table. With a K=1, Sharina requires approx. 37,810 BTU/h of heating. The main diesel furnace supplies this, sufficient for the coldest weather.

But what happens in an emergency? In the event the furnace fails, the Bristol Pacific model diesel stove in the galley can provide 6,500-16,250 BTU to heat the forward accommodation. At the lower heat setting it could maintain a temperature differential of 21 C, while the higher one maintains Sharina’s design differential requirement of 55 C in the forward compartment.
