Well, we'd been talking about this one for a good year or so, and finally 'bit the bullet' and did so in a pretty big way, rejecting the base (and likely perfectly fine) model for the upgrade 'Cape Horn 330 Extreme'. Of note here is that we have absolutely no intention of going anywhere near … Continue reading The Big Watermaker Install

With a good SSB Radio on board, and a Kenwood tuner, the only thing missing was an aerial. This was taken down when the mast was off foe refurbishment and painting, and the standing rigging. Most unfortunately, this coincided with the sudden passing of the previous owner, and the SSB antenna was never replaced. We … Continue reading SSB Aerial
