Making bits

With my trip to recover GD from the canal only just over a month away I have been busy making a restraining cage for the deep freezer. Bungee cord is ok in the canal but not in the Bay of Biscay!
I have also made a bracket to support an additional 40 watt solar pv panel on the pushpit, to be fitted on the port side over the transom. This will give me a total of 60 watts at 14 volts, enough to keep the fridges running with help from the wind generator. As with the original panel, the new one will feed the X-split battery manager via a blocking diode.

Extra:	Greydove is a mk3/4 Heavenly Twins highly modified with straight stems and a high aspect ratio fully battened modern catamaran rig with an 11 metre mast. She goes! (for an old girl anyway). Sailing around the Forth, West Coast and Western Isles of Scotland with a scuba diving skipper we have [...] visited many remote and beautiful places. After sailing in the Irish Sea for a while, we went south to explore the West coast of France. Grey Dove spent 8 years in Rochefort exploring the bay of Biscay, the Morbihan, the Gironde and Canal de Midi to the Med. before returning to the Firth Of Forth for a well earned refit. Currently exploring the historic ports around the East of Scotland and having a great time doing it. More
