I am hoping to set off next year. We currently have a 4KVA Pajura gen set, which the boat already had. Frankly I wish it hadn't got one as I am sure it will cost a bomb to run! Mind you it has been perfedct so far - now what have I said.....
I think the most important thing to do is to work out how to use less juice. for example the fridge only has 1 inch of insulation - so would probably run 24/7 and require 5 hours chgarging a day! So new fridge this winter with loads on insulation. When the geny goes wrong, I will dump it, and only get an emergency Honda 2 KW jobby. But first, I suppose i will spend money onm 1st Solar panels and then a wind genny.
What is your experiance on this, Some people seem to think a wind gen is a waste of time in the Med?
Anyway - I hope you enjoy the next season - we will probably get to the Ionian by winter 2009. Thats if SWMBO co-operates!
