  1. So she would have capsized in a mast on the water incident with everything battened down! That, IMO is not a seaworthy keel yacht...
  2. Well, this is interesting "the builder Perini, has stated Bayesian had positive stability to 73 degrees with the board up and 88 degrees with the board down."
  3. in GH marina at present...
  4. Saving on marina fees as I understand it...liveaboard.
  5. Many of the boats had flogging sails and other signs of lack of preparation. It WAS forecast..... Lee shore as well for many
  6. BK's one is now 12v. Installed in a flat mount (so no motors). Draw varies depending on what's happening, but 4-5a. Still a lot over 24hrs, but way better than the inverter option with the std starlink router...
  7. Huh? I'm a bit slow tonight - I don't follow, so I have to ask - why is that?
  8. Pleased your enjoying it Willy!
  9. A lot of his issue was, as is common, other boats. There is no safety in numbers! Tough to find when the "hurricane holes" are crowded... IMO don't stay in the hurricane/Cyclone zones in season, move on with a month or so to spare - the seasons are expanding...
  10. If that is fact, they should be prosecuted - that is fraud!

    Why you don't want to stay aboard in a cyclone...
  12. No. You must have the same brand and compatible models - if you wish to be able to calibrate/setup the system.

    Check out this whale collision... https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Zg27iXqW27WufDjx/
  14. Not conclusive yet. Still discussion going on between MNZ and YNZ, but not looking great.
  15. The TAO BMS units that I use have simple Mode controls, Keep full, Normal (20% to 80%) Storage (40%-60%). Just select what you want on the menu, and the BMS controls all charge and discharge sources as needed. Keeping LiFePo4 full will reduce it's ultimate cycle life... but it's not a safety issue or anything..
