hello,

Re: Genoa sheet sizing
Miles,
Harken has a quick and dirty online calculator for expected sail loads as a function of wind strength here:
https://www.harken.com/content.aspx?id=9096
The tough part is extending that number

Graham,
Beta offers the option of "isolated negative." Be sure that they spec this option for your repower.

Re: Power draw at anchor
Mark, Thanks you for the correction. My math was for 12V rather than 24. So hopefully the following is correct:
If your SM is equipped with 8 12V, 110Ah batteries and you are drawing 0.1 Amps

Graham,
Like you I think a lot of sailboats are significantly overpowered because that is what people think they want.
Your thoughts on the Beta 60 are interesting, and I'll follow carefully what

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Rocna anchor
10mm G40 (or 3/8" HT)
If you want a slightly stronger chain look for Maggi Aqua4 brand 10mm chain that will work as well. There might be other brands that boast higher than "standard" strengths as

on my old Super Maramu built in 1991, hull number 56 the 40 kg Rocna did not fit therefore I fit a 33 kg which worked perfectly.
