Insulating One's Boat

Post by svMira »

In a recent video, Sailing Uma insulated their Pearson 35 with 3/4" of foam glued to the hull with contact cement. The video of Sailing Uma insulating their boat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClFGcjr8djI
Is this the right way to do this? And, at what point does this make sense to do? This method doesn't seem very difficult or expensive. If I'm already opening things up all the way, should I be doing this to my boat?
