Re: Parasailor on A54
Scott SV Tengah
Joerg,
A few questions for you: 1) So you've not seen any chafing on the Genoa from the ATN? It seems like you're saying that the ATN may not be good for ocean crossings? 2) How does it do at 150-180 degrees? 3) Do you have any lines on the windward side? Or is the sole attachment/control the ATN? My concern would be sudden squalls that produce 30+ knots and the lifting force that the ATN/Genoa would have to endure. When it hit 30+ at night, we simply left the sail up - I would rather lose the sail than a crew member. Turns out the Parasailor did completely fine. 4) Any issues with the Parasailor rubbing on the Genoa? The first time we deployed the Parasailor, it rubbed the Genoa and, well, you can see all the little repairs we had to do on the foot area! The sail does collapse when you're flying in light winds as intended and the wind goes <5 knots apparent - so I want to be sure we don't damage the ultralight fabric again! 5) I would suggest you try the pole in rolly seas and see if it helps reduce rolling. I think the ability of the sail to move a bit allows the sail to "absorb the rolling" vs transmitting it to the boat. Overall, I actually like a bit of movement. That said, the setup of the pole is a pain and it would be great if I could eliminate that. As an aside - how do you like your mizzen mounted wind generator? How is the noise in the aft cabin? Any idea how many amp hours a day it averages? -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

mainsail and Genoa halyards length for AMEL SM
Hello,
I have question regarding the length of halyards for mainsail, mizzen sail and genoa sail. I saw the specification in the fine folder (running rigging specs) but have my doubt and due to the travel restrictions can not go to my boat. Thanks in advance for help and clarification.

Hi Oliver,
No battery in the antenna, it is a passive device. BTW the GP-90 will run with a dead battery. The battery is only there to remember waypoints and the startup location. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Re: Top loading galley fridge/freezer used as a fridge: No?
Thanks Oliver,
Two other things if I may: Can I recommend you add the expression "Amel 54" in the description of your videos? In all my YouTube searches I did (quite a few during this stupid lockdown!) I never saw any of your videos popping up. Only when searching specifically for Vela Nautica they pop up. You website seems to have some trouble "www.velanautica.org" throws the error message "There has been a critical error on your website." on every page.

Hello, You get these magnetic freezer seals custom made to your required size by any refrigeration supplier. On the counter part of the gascet you will need 20x1mm magnetic!! Stainless stripes. I sanded them from the back side and fixed them with contact Clement. In one of these posts I uploaded a picture and how to fix them. Yes, we got only a fridge and the top load freezer. No seate cooler. Oliver from Vela Nautica Amel54#39 Martinique

Hi Barry;
Keep us informed. Lithium is definitely the way to go and offers tremendous upside to lead acid.. Addressing safety concerns, is our biggest design criteria and challenge. I have many years of experience with Lithium technology in other hobbies and have seen what lithium is capable of and its associated dangers.

Hi Teun and Mohammad, Teun, I have an Australian friend who is having trouble getting insurance. Can you give me the broker that you went with, maybe the NZ broker as well. They just lost cover that they took out 2 months ago through a Caribbean crook. If anyone wants to know who the company was, please ask.
Mohammad, when the lock down is eased I am visiting Oliver who is anchored in front of me. I will be doing the same as your plan and designing the new lithium battery system. I will let you know what I find out as I progress. Things are getting better and easier every year. Can you imagine what this lockdown is doing to people. In nearly 40 years Penny and I have never gone for a month without shopping or spending any money.

Re: Washing Machine and 50 htz
Scott,
Thanks for reply.
Not sure what software; the marine electrician in VANUATU installed it on my laptop. There is a hard wire connection in the cabinet over the sink. Anyhow in the settings you can set a minimum Voltage to activate the inverter and a shut down voltage. In my settings the “activate” voltage is 26.0V. You can lower it so we set it to 25.8V but even after saving the value automatically defaults to 26.0V.
I need the inverter at night as I use a CPAP machine; frequently in the evening my voltage is between 25.85 and 26.0. The inverter refuses to kick in and I get the red low voltage light blinking on the VICTRON panel. When I start the genset it is enough to kick the voltage over 26.0V to get the inverter working and I can immediately switch off the genset and all is OK.
What I do now is that I monitor in the afternoon the voltage and when it drops close to 26.10V I switch on the inverter although I don’t need it for several hours.
BTW although set @ 26.0V in reality the inverter will not kick on until it is minimum 26.08 or 26.1V
If I would be able to have permanently the minimum kick on voltage set to 25.8 or so then I would be fine.
BTW on the yellow highlight below: I am sure that Dutch people might not like other Dutch people; I don’t think we like people in general. I have a Tshirt with: “I like Coffee and MAYBE 3 people” 😊
Can you give me the Email address of your Dutch contact with VICTRON?
