ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

• In 2021 the electrical system on this yacht was upgraded to 2 x Quattro 5kW inverters with 1500A of Lithium batteries, a new transformer and upgraded wiring harness. You don't need to run the generator to run the air-conditioning, water heaters, dive-compressor, the flybridge grill or to run a load of laundry. The generator on this vessel has almost become obsolete. You wont fully appreciate the non-usage of your generator until you have spend some time onboard "Second Wind", it is whisper quiet and you are not burning fossil fuels.  You can literally stay at anchor for weeks, make your own water, make your own power and live in total comfort. You just need to be good at catching fish :-)
