We have a fair bit of Solar but no wind power. Simple math settles this one. To motor we run anywhere between 30W and 75W per motor at 72V. That's one hell of a lot of wind power to go a short...

Maximum power to the motors comes when applying generator and battery power together. For practical purposes this is too much power unless you want a speedboat. Under normal conditions I maintain...

Hi Sarge,

You should see positive regen on both sides. I've also learned that at higher boat speeds (7+ knots) the notch just above neutral is not quite the optimum and to maximize regen you need...

I agree with Chris in that a genaker (or similar - we have a Code Zero) is needed in under 15 knots. Sailing the Caribbean in our 420 we've rarely needed this. Between the islands we've had the...

How remiss of me. Congrats from me too.

We bought the genaker rig (and pole) but not Lagoon's genaker. We have since bought and used a code zero. It is larger than what Lagoon sells and sails...

The A/Cs run of the 110/220V system so if you're hooked up in a marina you won't need to run the generator. Running the A/C off an inverter would deplete the house batteries in no time so it's not a...

We only fitted the A/C because of our intentions to have our boat in charter for a while and this is expected by many guests. We've never used A/Cs when we've sailed so they are likely to be...

I dismissed the idea of heaving to in a cat. We will rely on a para-anchor. Details have to be worked out though. I'm guessing that the para will need to be fed through something at the bow and...

There are lots of threads on watermakers on this board. I am opting for a Spectra as I've heard their customer service is very good and there's a lot of good feedback on their products.
