Beef up your research - you'll find that the greatest risk of hypothermia is in relatively 'warm' weather when people are tempted to wear too little. A thin layer of sweat does its job a little too well and the body temp drops like a rock. Pretty simple, my friend.
So you are aware of cases where healthy adults engaged in aerobic exercise (not necessarily boat construction) developed hypothermia? Can you give more details or links?
