Hi Axel,

Tips- Extra House Batteries(we had 660 amps) Solar Panels(we had 480 watts 24V) and a good charge controller. Good 12V watermaker, extra 12v Waeco Fridge/Freezer. Soft Shackles, Chaffe protection especially on Halyards and reefing lines. Put a third reef point in your main and shift the single point reefing lines up by passing the first reef. Reef you main before your head sail. In heavy stuff, get rid of your Main and sail with reefed head sail. Dont overload your Auto helm, Look after your auto pilot and it will look after you. 100 m anchor chain needed(stainless if you can as it doesnt drag the mud up and packs down better in the anchor locker) Good spares supply, especially Cupboard latches as they are hopeless and always breaking! Keep the bottom of the boat clean!
Enjoy
Your dreams are what give us strength,
but you will never know if you have the strength to realise your dreams....
unless you try
