Boat descriptionShe's a quick boat, sails well in light winds and points upwind very close to the wind. A big rig for her size. Full masthead rig with La Genoa 1 and generous sized Main. 95 SQ Metre cruising chute with snuffer Brand new. SeaGo 4 Man Life Raft Jonbouy Man over board recovery system. Jackstays & Clip on leads & cockpit clip on points Raymarine Chartplotter/MFD above Helm Wheel and can be mounted at the chart table Raymarine EV1 motor driven Autopilot with P70s Head Brand new Garmin Wind sensor and GNX instrument display & through hull Airmar Smart Triducer for depth, and water speed, pitch, roll &leeway angle. This is networked to a Garmin GNX20 MFD next to the Wind instrument on the cockpit coming. Navtex Speed and distance repeater log display at chart table VHF-DSC Radio and AIS unit at chart table. Active dual band Radar Transponder. Digital Yacht-iNavconnect Wireless router with WL50 router and WiFi access point with long range antenna, providing a WiFi network and WiFi/ Ethernet integration to the yacht's instrumentation & NMEA Network. All passages are planned, plotted and logged on paper charts and log books. Then the routes and waypoints are entered into the Navigational equipment and as the skipper and navigator, this is periodically checked and cross referenced. If the boat ever lost power, I could fix our position and navigate using the Ship's Compass and a hand bearing compass and the chart. I have 2 hand held battery powered VHF radios as backups. The 2 & 3 year old sails have just been valeted, serviced and treated. I am also replacing all the running rigging that is in constant use under sail. Brand new 4/5 man Tender with fully reconditioned 6HP outboard engine. Large refrigerator, microwave, stereo, 12 volt TV. 300ah LifePO4 Smart Battery for all boat systems. Engine starter battery Windlass battery Solar Panels and AC Inverter. All Victron equipment for handling mains charging & Solar power management. Planning to re-float her in Mid March and preparing her for the Bay of Biscay crossing. After a couple of shakedown cruises to check she is dialled in and the new crew members are in good shape. Down to Falmouth and onwards!
