Day 13 of our Christmas calendar takes a closer look at the deck of Vela! Built for adventure! ? ? Bow: - Equipped with a 33kg Rocna Vulcan anchor. - 80 meters of chain. - Electric windlass for the heavy lifting. ? Washdown Pump behind the chain locker: To keep things tidy, we've got a saltwater washdown pump installed. It's perfect for rinsing off the anchor and chain, keeping mud and grime off the deck. ? Midship on each side: - Water filling stations for our two water tanks - Discharge outlets for our holding tanks. ? Aft Deck: - Storage lockers for all our deck gear, extra diesel, - Gas locker (soon to be extra storage when we go electric ?). ? Swimming Platform: - Another deck locker - Emergency tiller access - Freshwater shower after a jump in the clear blue water ? And soon, a solar arch will complete the setup - hosting our solar panels, dinghy, grill, and liferaft. ? This deck is ready for everything from long passages to lazy days at anchor. What's a must-have feature on your dream boat's deck? ? Let us know! ? ?
