This is what we did.
Options from Lagoon:
- cruiser package or whatever it is called including
- electric winches.
- plotter up and down
- both fridges
- anchor remote
-
gennaker
-
spinnaker gear
Not ordered.
-
generator, can be all done by solar and we use a LOT of
power on our boat
- air con, only need it if you are a marina guy. At anchor there is always enough
wind and it is a lot cooler out there. We are only in
marinas when we need
repairs done
Our own options
40kg
Rocna, 25
Delta is way too small and tends to plough the
anchorages.o
- portable Dometic 100L
freezer.
- counter top ice maker, costs about $150
- domestic
washing machine LG
- spectra
water maker under port fwd
cabin bed. Keeps all
water tanks
- 3kW inverter, adding 2nd 3kW this fall
- replaced lead batts with 1400Ah LiFePo
- installed Vesper
AIS 8000 with display at nav station inside
- kept the original chargers but disconnected from boat
power. Just run extension cord to it when in different voltage marina. You can
plug in anywhere in the world as they are 100-250V 40-70 Hz. We can run everything we need from our inverters, so only need to charge the batts when in a marina.
- also
ICOM VHF radio as it interfaces with Vesper which lets you make
DSC call directly to
AIS target without entering number
- two I70
instruments and second P70
autopilot control
head at nav station inside for night and bad
weather watches
- VHF remote at fly bridge
- more solid
spinnaker mast strong point
- extra,spinnaker
halyard with
rope clutch next to main
halyard
- 3rd reef luff line led to the cleat at main halyard
rope clutch. I don't want to have to climb the
mast to put the reef hook in with 3m waves on the nose
- made our own full bridge-width
bimini.
One thing I changed now on 3 L450s - the main dousing line is rigged from the main
head board coming down beside the cars.
In a strong aft
wind the line can wrap around the
radar or any of the
shroud strongpoints at the mast and you can not lower the main. The dousing line needs to be fed THROUGH the slots in the batten car attachments and the block at the foot of the mast located directly under the main track. No more tangle problems and climbing the mast to free the dousing line.
- NOT solar can be done better and much cheaper yourself. We installed 1800W for about $3000 including 2Outbacks and all support structure and cabling.
