I used a Blacks 4-season last winter whilst sleeping on board in the yard. Excellent, but a bit too warm / bulky for the summer though, where a good 3 season is probably better. One tip, if you want to wear pyjamas, long johns, etc, get one with a synthetic (shiny) lining. The cheaper bags have cotton liners and they stick to the clothes. Makes turning and positioning in the bag a lot harder.

Two cheapies from Argos. Zip them together to make a double. Use them as a double sleeping bag or a duvet.
If it's cold we also use a hi tech blanket.

Unzip them and use mine individually if SHMBO isn't on the boat.

Bought them years ago. Only cost a few quid.
Can't see any reason to spend a fortune.

Bl@?@dy freezing, the pontoon power has tripped again.

His and hers duvets in summer- you have at least a 30% chance of keeping some of your own over you then.

For winter, buy SWMBO a Wave ladies sleeping bag next birthday, etc- extra padding round feet and other 'female cold spots'.
Worth it to keep cold feet out of the small of your back at 02.00 in Jan after a cold days maintainance.
