We find that the Amel meter is not 100% accurte we keep an eye on the Voltage meter when it gets to 24 volts we charge. Using the gen set by way of an 80 amp Rey charger.

We were in 25kt winds and 4-6 ft seas. With the main and jib (135%) each at about 1 "reef" the motion was comfortable, but the bow kept dropping off and I sailed out of my "slick" at about 1.5kts. When I brought out the mizzen and finally rolled up the jib completely she sat at the prescribed "50degrees" off the wind, but still made enough headway that I sailed out of the slick. It was fine for the purpose this time, but if I understand correctly, I want to be slipping directly downwind to keep the slick between me and the oncoming waves if I'm in a breaking sea (a la the Pardee's).Anyone with an SM who's figured out how to do that without deploying a sea anchor off the side of the boat? Thanks, Kent SM 243 "Kristy" [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
