Additional Comments:

Staysail roller furler not working - bearings and seals need replacement: This video shows the sizes required and exactly how to replace them step by step. Https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=vc3DQJPHudg

As discussed, personally I would replace this with a torsion line for the stay sail with a continuous furler. So the stay sail is removeable.

Water: 150L in bladder - I replaced the bladder in 2024 but have not got to re-connecting the 200L water tank in the keel as I saw this as a more challenging task (due to lack of knowledge).

Holding tank: is in keel and not currently connected - for compliance I have a new Thetford Porta-Potti available to the new owner which can be stored in the starboard side engine room.

Solar is currently two 36W solar panels on S/S frame above davits connected to Victron 75/15 BlueTooth solar controller.

Koshin comes with two brand new PowerTech 100W flexible solar panels (from RTM) sized to fit either side of the hatch on the hard doger and two brand new 20Amp (Kings) MPPT solar controllers are included. Four 15Amp solar cables have been run through from the hard dodger to where the current Victron solar controller is located in the starboard side engine room area next to the bus board.
