Olliric,

Arild is a "AAA" electronician and a boatie.

From the site

And yet it tells us nothing at all

 

Sabahcat,

Wild Wind IV
Dennis R. with his 200.000 + nm. experience speaks highly of Arild,
his recommendation is plenty enough -for me-.

Get in touch with him you have nothing to loose.

Going for a 24v system is a no brainer. The problem of not finding or having to pay more for 24 v gear is not existing. Except for the SSB so far I found every thing I needed at about the same price. Westmarine have both options. With the current cost of copper 24 v may be actually be cheaper overall.

Very good thanks

I hope to do what you are planning, so will be following your progress with interest. Good luck! Attached is an article from my yacht clubs latest magazine which seemed quite useful to me, although I realise that for experienced builders its may well be common knowledge.

 

The project is happening. I have moved to Langkawi and I am doing the design customization and the CE cat A scantling review.
