Hull and bunk insulation

It's getting chilly here in Holland, and a couple old (though minor) problems are resurfacing.

- Most of our hull is insulated, but a foul weather locker is not. The hull gets damp which in turn wets anything hanging there. To deal with it, we empty out the locker for the winter. But it would be nice to be able to leave things in there. What would be a recommended material to put in there?

- When we have guests, the underside of our quarterberth cushions invariably get a bit damp. I am planning to try the "Hypervent" material under them. On paper it looks like a good product, if a bit pricy. Does anyone have experience with it?

Thanks.
