Our fixers have made us better mechanics, electricians, canvas makers, etc. This boat will make us better sailors and we’ve already learned a ton about integrated systems, but I won’t be rewiring or doing any mods on this boat. There’s good fun in those too. So, will she spoil us for anything less than the best? I guess, maybe. Or maybe we carry our new knowledge into another fixer someday. Hard to say. Life is one great experiment!

BougeRV Cigs aka Yuma panels are walkable and by far are the most durable and gives you more output even if 3/4 the panels is shaded it still produces. pricey but the competition only lasts 5 years and these should last up to 25 years for a flexible, walkable panel hello. also there sizes are impressive. 200,400 and 800 watt panels. I also agree about the amount of solar at least 2500 watts but as much as possible trying to get to 5kw of panel production.

You lucky sausages, great I'm green with envy, what do you think of Clarity Too ? Love that main traveler line driver (like having a 16:1 vang on a dingy). In a squall you can send the main traveler car down to the lee, backing the first quarter of the main luff, gives you control in reducing the heeling moment, power & speed. Watch some past footage on the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. I can't see why it wouldn't work on a thoroughbred cat. BTW I did meteorology in geography for my third major in my BIO degree 42 years ago, so I feel like a kindred spirit, and have enjoyed times when you've explained weather systems.
