The 7 Lewmar hatches (acrylic and alluminium) have Sun Covers made from Sunbrella UV resistant fabric for external protection. Internally they are fitted with two way sliding covers which allow firstly for sun black out in the first mode and then alternatively to prevent the entry of mosquitoes and insects whilst still allowing for air flow. For additional ventilation there are four dorade vents with mosquito plates and blanking plates for rough weather.

The same unit also doubles as an instrument repeater mounted at the below deck chart table. This unit is connected to the Seatalk NMEA output of the chartplotter via a SEATALK/NMEA interface box allowing display of information such as SOG, COG, water speed, wind, depth and much more, all user selectable to varying degrees of detail.

Custom made for the boat, this crane allows the dinghy to be tied along side and then with the engine lifted, the crane can rotate to allow stowage onto the pushpit mounted teak outboard bracket.

Mounted at the chart table below, this waterproof unit provides for the playing of music CD's combined with an AM/FM stereo radio. There are 2 speakers mounted internally in the main saloon and 2 externally under the skippers seat. A remote control unit at the engine controls in the cockpit allows for easy use of the unit without having to return below.

Our favourite piece of equipment on the boat. A 10" viewable display providing, chart plotter, radar and log information. Screen can be split to view any combination of these three or just one at a time. Radar Overlay also available to confirm position and extremely useful for landfalls.

This "fast" heading sensor provides heading information to the radar for use with the MARPA (mini automatic radar plotting aid) feature of the RL80C. This allows for the acquisition of multiple targets providing for each vessel its speed, heading, closest point of approach (CPA) and time to closest point of approach (TCPA). A must have for collision avoidance.

The engine room has a blower installed for lower engine room running temperatures. Extensive sound proofing in engine compartment along with sealed door compartments (incorporating access hole for fire extinguisher). Interior light and good all round access for servicing requirements.

A Racor fuel filter mounted on the back of the access door allows for easy replacement and also mounted at the same location is an electronic fuel bleed pump which allows for bleeding of the fuel system at the flick of a switch.

Removable boarding ladder, mounting on either port or starboard side of the boat.

Made by the owner, this seat is always in use on passage, allowing the poor person on night watch to sit comfortably under the cockpit canopy whilst still having access to radar chartplotter.

High volume Rule 3700 automatic/manual bilge pump controlled by automatic float switch.

DOMESTIC BANK - NEW IN APRIL 2005 - 4 X Trojan T105 6V 220 Amp Hour golfcart batteries connected to give a total bank of 440 Amp Hours with dedicated on/off switch located in main saloon protected by kick bars.

ENGINE START - NEW IN APRIL 2005 - 1 X Trojan 12V 115 Amp Hour cranking battery with dedicated on off switch located in aft cabin.

The 90-100D Balmar 100 Amp alternator was purchased new in December 2004 and is controlled by an MC612 smart regulator (see below).

This MC612 "Smart Charger" (purchased April 2005) allows for 3 stage battery charging giving optimum battery protection and also incorporates an equalise function.

The Duogen is an English design incorporating both wind and water turbines. The wind turbine is removed in seconds and the water turbine then slots into its place. At 5-6 knots the water turbine can provide enough power to run all the boats systems, including allowing the kids to watch TV! On both the Pacific and Atlantic crossings we ran for 10 days without having to reach for the engine keys. Only a drop in wind meant the engine was required for battery charging. Many spares are included including alternator bearings and a spare tower.

The Air X Marine (purchased July 2004) is mounted on a custom built stainless steel arch to provide clean air to the blades. Cables were oversized to give minimum voltage loss. (Note this unti is self regulated).

Rated at around 7 amps maximum output this solar panel at the time of purchase in July 2004 was the biggest single panel available. Power to the batteries is regulated via a Flexcharge 25AMP smart regulator, preventing over charging when used in conjunction with either wind/water generators, or main engine. The panel is mounted on a custom built stainless steel arch to reduce shadowing from other parts of the boat to a minimum. Cables were oversized to give minimum voltage loss.

The C-Charger 5000 series 40AMP battery charger provides dedicated battery charging when connected to shore power whether via 240V or 110V connection.

The boat is basically 240V but the current owner has installed a custom built step up transformer so that in places where only 110V is available a connection to shore power is made via an external socket which is then run through the transformer to provide 240V for use with the 40AMP battery charger and all other 240V boat sockets. All cabins (apart from heads) have 240V plug sockets. An auto sensing switch is installed which allows use of the transformer depending which voltage supply is in use.

4 man XM/BFA life raft with extensive inventory of additional items for ocean passage making. Mounted in its own stainless steel cradle on the pushpit. A single strap, when removed, allows the raft to fall into the water for easy deployment. (Service due January 2006).

Roller furling Staysail by Sobstad in high modulus Dacron with sun protection strip on leach attached to Hoyt boom for self tacking operation and controlled from cockpit by Lewmar Ocean series 8C winch.

Storm Jib and Trysail made by Wilkinson Sails of Burnham on Crouch in the UK in 11oz sail cloth. (Never used!)

Custom made, these security bars allows for the free flow of air into the boat whilst providing excellent security. The bars are secured by two independent pad locks.

Mast mounted pole on track for use with either spinnaker (not carried) or for polling out the main genoa when running down wind. Easy system for deployment.

Whitlock Cobra Premiere XL steering column and leather covered wheel with Whitlock morse controls on starboard side of column.

The Monitor wind vane steering has now completed two ocean passages of over 6000 nm and shows virtually no signs of wear. A must have piece of equipment for anyone considering long passage making. Comes with light and heavy air blades and a spare heavy air blade. Also comes with various spares.

Raytheon 100/300 Linear Autopilot connected into the boats other nav systems via a course computer and controlled by a Raytheon ST6000+ remote unit (pictured above) situated conveniently next to the steering position. The linear drive itself is mounted below decks in the main cockpit locker. Heading information is provided from a Fluxgate compass mounted in the rear cabin. A useful feature is the auto tack ability of this unit. Integrated with the Raytheon chartplotter the unit also has a "Track" facility enabling automatic following of user entered routes.

Ritchie Steering compass mounted at the steering wheel with internal light and special Island Packet logo.

The 380C is a modular system allowing for the various components to be located in more than one location. The system produces around 13 gallons an hour when running with both pumps. Comes with various spares, filters etc.

New in January 2004 this Caribe I27 inflatable takes up to 4 adults. It has a removable slated floor to enable the dinghy to be completely deflated for storage in its own bag, useful when on long passages. It has a self draining floor and two oars for rowing with removable central seat. When deflated both dinghy and floorboards have their own stowage bags.
