? Sunday Boat Tip [26/52] ? Are you team upwind or team downwind? Linnea was our first boat with a furling headsail and the natural way for us was to head upwind. It was always a hard job, and Marcus was the only one with enough strength to be able to furl it in even though we only had a small self-tacking jib. But then we got this advice and it was a game changer! The idea seems pretty obvious now, but we had just never considered it! Now handling the furler is an easy job, that we both can manage. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too ?? Don't forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure ??

If you are thinking this, you couldn't be more wrong! In paid collaboration with @remoranoy We should bust some myths for comments like this one ?? (Discount code at the end) First of all, people who leave comments like these have probably never been cruising or sailing offshore for extended periods ????? Right? The stress of seeing your battery state of charge steadily going down is no fun experience, but we have probably all been there? But we are cruisers - not racers! For us, the potential loss in speed is unnoticeable and a very cheap price to pay for knowing that we have a source of energy that works regardless of clouds or if it's in the middle of the night. The main reason why we like it so much is that it keeps on doing its thing; day and night, mile after mile. It just works! And except from having to clean it from sargasso now and then, it doesn't require anything and you don't notice it's there. For offshore sailing I would say it makes absolute sense to have something like this to take the stress of battery charging off your mind. It's a great complement to our solar and the alternator on the engine. And as we don't like the bulkyness of wind generators, this is the only thing that we found suitable. What are your biggest concerns? Do you feel convinced yet that hydro really is a great way of charging your batteries for offshore sailing? Until Feb 28th you get a 5% discount on orders on the Remoran website when using the code LINNEASALE5 at checkout. The code also gives you free DHL standard shipping within the EU. What are you waiting for? Go order your own right now ?
