Just a backup, for you never know. This is to my way of thinking a rather large boat, and certainly not inexpensive. And where we
cruise every now and again it gets stupid hot and the biting insects come out about the same time as the
wind goes to nothing. It’s either sit in your bunk in a pool of sweat or crank the generator and turn on the AC.
I have never been in the high latitudes, and I’m sure never will.
However if they are foregoing refrigeration then surely they don’t really need much in the way of power generation anyway.
With not having a
water heater, I guess no fridge, no generator and I assume no
air conditioning etc.
However the power panel sure seemed to be quite large and complex, I assume there is very little if any AC devices?
This isn’t a mainstream Boat, I’d like to see it, cause I have a feeling the differences between it and a regular production Boat may be quite significant.
I bet for instance it has a hell for strong
anchor roller, and maybe Sampson post?
Unless I’m mistaken I thought I saw cable life lines. I would have thought solid SS tubing similar to Amel maybe?
