- Info
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
-
Buy the best anchor windlass you can afford (I
have Lofrans - excellent)
-
Put a second (identical) alternator on the engine
- ideally with an intelligent charging/regulator system. I have a German
regulator supplied by Wilhelm Greiff and it works very well.
-
In heavy weather the ventilation ports let water
into both engine and starboard locker. This can be very dangerous and something
should be done about it.
-
Make sure you fix the spreaders so they cannot
ride up on the rigging - we lost one on the way to the Falklands!
-
When you install the secondary (low level) navigation
lights, put the stern light on a separate switch, so you can use it when
you get on and off the skirt at night - or when working there generally,
such as when adjusting the windvane (Windpilot in my case).
