Re: That little something that makes life easier
Our thermal cooker fired up while preparing breakfast provides a lovely hot prepared meal for lunch.
Although not small by any means, I also wouldn't be without our Hydrovane self-steering for any passage over 2 hours. It works exceptionally well, eliminates wear and tear on the autohelm and provides great piece of mind havind a speare rudder in the event our unprotected spade rudder is damaged...👍

Creo que realmente profundiza en el barco y el diseño de la cabina ...

Re: That little something that makes life easier
Ditto on the thermal cooker. We have two, small and large. Much cheaper in SE Asia. Small for making yogurt and smaller dishes. Larger with two pots or one large for making bone broth and larger dishes to eat and freeze and potlucks or two dishes.
Bring it to a boil in fifteen minutes and cooks up to eight hours. Very stingy on the propane.

Re: That little something that makes life easier
A vast amount of refrigeration and the inverter, solar and battery to run it
A walk around king sized bed
Both essential to our cruising lifestyle and a deal breaker on any vessel without them.
Not exactly little things but the little things we can live without.
