That's what I intend to do, I will
cruise a year or two in the
Med with the original set up in place and will do some upgrades during or after the next season to prepare it for
water sailing">blue
water sailing.
Mainly it will be the energy part (solar,
lithium batteries, inverter) and
communications (GSM/LTE range extender / repeater,
SSB tranceiver with
Pactor modem, Sat-Phone,
EPIRB, NavTex, board pc at the nav station).
I think, the ability to communicate, access the
Internet and get
weather at any location is the most crucial thing.
