Electrics
Boat has dual voltage AC for US (110VAC) and 240VAC for Aus/NZ. Isolation and step transformer so plug into shore power for either will power the other. AC loads are water heater, Air Con, battery charger, starlink and outlets for both voltages. There is a 2.2kvA 110VAC inverter and 3kvA 240VAC inverter. Shore power and generator change over switch.
Start battery (N70ZZ) is isolated from the house bank which is 6 x T105(each 250Ah) connected for 12VDC house loads. Charging is via an externally regulated 100A engine alternator, an AC 60A battery charger, a silent wind 400W wind generator, or 920W of Victron solar panels, independently regulated with 3 x Victron MPPT 100/30 charge controllers.

Mast / Rigging
SELDEN mast and all rigging/ furlers new in 2017, gas strut kicker replaced 2023, four reefing systems and outhaul in boom. Two mainsail halyards, two spinnaker halyards, three Genoa halyards, two stay sail halyards and one whisker pole topping lift. Pole is on a track on front of mast so pole can be stored ready for use or on deck in custom fittings. Pole telescoping internals failed in the Indian Ocean so pole is pinned at fixed lengths.
Staysail is on its own self tacking boom which I have removed in the past to accommodate a different dinghy. This new dinghy fits under it upside down when inflated.
Boom gallows for quiet nights at anchor.

Remarks
Things you should know:
Boat had chain plates leaking rain water onto internal cabinetry when I bought it in 2020. Leaks were fixed immediately but I have never got around to the cosmetic carpentry required in the salon. Thought my time was better spent cruising. Will get onto sprucing up the interior now back in Tas.
Dodger has realistically only one more season before replacement required. Have materials to sew a new one. Hoping to get to it soonish.
Salon upholstery is currently being replaced with a darker blue than photos show.
All bright work needs some love, trying to do it all this winter. Can advise progress.
Engine is quite smoky when cold but has never let us down.
Toilet seat needs replacement or painting if you can't handle the colour black coming through the white veneer. (Looks terrible, but it's clean-promise)
Took lots of interior pictures whilst aboard but now can't find them. Will take more once I finish the seat upholstery or can take some without if you're in a rush.
