I would like to race against him , but i’m in Quebec, and my sailboat is SAINT-PAUL-ILE-AUX-NOIX at 10 minutes from lake Champlain.
i have an IRWIN30 with a deep keel , I installed a furler mast from an OCEANIC 35.1 and a second furler up front for a storm jib.
i have installed a bran new BETA30 engine in 2020 and many other materials , VC OFFSHORE antifooling.
i have 6 time 6 volts batteries 400 amps connected in series and parallel to get 1200 amps/hours @ 12 volts yes it was needed because I was living aboard and I had a TIG welder , compressor, lots of electric tools , I was doing mechanic on water and racing large sailboat , the 6 batteries are below the waterline so it keep my sailboat upright by strong wind .
