A ventilation system is provided for persistent natural ventilation by circulation of air between an interior space and an external environment. In one example, the ventilation system includes an air intake including a domed upper cover with exterior windows which allow air to circulate through an upper chamber, a baffle around floatable elements, the baffle including an annular protective screen and valve windows, a lower chamber fluidly coupled to each of the upper chamber via the baffle and an interior duct via a main window thereof, wherein the interior duct is fluidly coupled to the interior space, and wherein the floatable elements are positioned on respective seats when no liquid is present, each of the seats spaced a distance opposite to a respective one of the valve windows. Responsive to liquid entering the upper chamber via the exterior windows, the valve windows may be automatically blocked by the floatable elements.

There is described a ventilation system for a boat. The windshield body comprises an air scoop in a bottom portion of the windshield body, facing a forward direction of the boat for air entry, the air scoop having an entry which is substantially horizontal and the air scoop extending upwardly within the windshield body to form a conduit having an upward component. The conduit end opens toward an inside of the boat, at a location higher than the entry of the air scoop. A hingeable vent can be installed on the opening inside the boat to be open or closed. The vent may also be sued with a direct opening with the outside. In this case, flaps can be installed in the opening. The flaps can be hingeable about their own respective hinge axis, and move together using a solid link. The flaps may be used without the vent.
