PERIGEE was the SM that went to the assistance of the circa late-70s sloop-rigged AMEL (we thought it was an EURO, but now we're not really sure), that lost the top half of it's mast

Wehave the 150 L/hr unit and can run all systems requiring raw watersimultaneously without any issues. I am not aware of any designrelated performance issues with the raw water distributionmanifolds.

Thanks Mark & Bill. I guess if I had to abandon ship and grabbed my Iridium phone, I could call for help. Harder if you have to have a phone too.

FWIT, on my PSC I used running backstays when setting the staysail in strong winds so as not to tempt fate. It certainly seems a bad idea not to, and negligent not to have them installed by a rigger,

I had both the genoa and ballooner sheaves replaced when I bought my SM this past July before I sailed it up to the Chesapeake. If I were you, I would change them both while you are up there
