Don't treat lithium batteries like a simple drop-in replacement for lead-acid. They aren't just lead-acid with better manners. You can't just swap them and expect electrical nirvana. This is a common, costly mistake. #LithiumBatteries #LeadAcid #BoatLife #BatteryUpgrade #MarineElectronics
En esta ocasión hemos ido a inspeccionar una jarcia firme a un velero Bavaria 42 en el puerto Azimut Norte, en San Adrián de Cobres. La revisión de obenques estays y backstays en imprescindible. Los fabricantes aconsejan su cambio a los diez años. Si observas cualquier óxido en los cables y sobre todo en los terminales, debes sustituirlo en seguida, ya que es muy probable que estos rompan con el consiguiente desarbolado del palo. Revisa muy a menudo tu jarcia. Así mismo, es muy importante llevar bien la tensión de la jarcia. Una jarcia demasiado tensa o demasiado floja puede desembocar también en una rotura de la jarcia con la posterior rotura del mástil
50th Rolex Fastnet Race - one month until vital registration opens! 1200 UTC 11th January 2023: this time should be double underlined in the calendar of those wishing to enter next year’s Rolex Fastnet Race, as it will be the moment when registration officially opens for the 50th edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s flagship event. Just like Glastonbury tickets when they go on sale, registration opening prior to recent editions of the Rolex Fastnet Race have seen available places snapped up within just a few minutes. In the last pre-pandemic edition of the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race in 2019, the entry capacity was reached in just four minutes and 37 seconds - 13 seconds outside the record time set two years earlier. With next year’s edition of the world’s largest offshore yacht race marking a special anniversary, demand is expected to be higher than ever, with more than 450 expected on the start line, ranging from maxi monohulls and multis to 30ft club racers and cruisers and everything in between. Entries are available on a ‘first come-first served’ basis and any late comers beyond the RORC’s limit will be placed on a waiting list. #RolexFastnetRace #RORCracing
