400wh for £500 or a 1200wh leisure battery for £150. Sorry, they saw you coming bud. You could get a 1000w inverter and still be £300 cheaper than that.

I don’t see your point really. You’re talking lead acid leisure battery for £150, but you price up a Lithium battery! I wanted compact lithium portability. 400wh, inverter built in including 2 x 230v plug sockets, solar MPPT built in, 1 usbc built in, 2 usbc built in, 1 cig socket built in.

I think with me and the AC60 on the bike my bike would already be 'overloaded' without even leaving room for my toothbrush and credit card! 🤣 I get it for 'Nick on the Boat' It makes a lot of sense. (Especially when the family are on board) Honestly, I think that's way too much weight to be sitting in your topbox, and you can be charging things while you are riding from the bike. I'm not sure it has any place in camping unless you are in the car or campervan, and or hosting a beach party for 50 people 🤣 Have you taken it on any of your tours?

Not sure I've ever been to Blackpool or Southport when the sun's shining, let alone 26'C 😁 Great video, really captured the 'feel' of the day. Your wife seems very confident at the helm and moving around the boat, I assume she's a sailor too? I'm a little surprised how many people wear deck shoes on their yachts, I've spent quite a few years on liveaboard dive boats, (mostly Red Sea, but other places as well, not the UK) and everyone was always barefoot, even on steel boats??

It looks like you've oversized the cable by a fair bit? Can I ask what size cable you used?

I'll be honest I think it's been a bit more than 'a couple of years' since Sea Star has been out of the water....Top job to get her back looking as good as new!
