🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [42/52] 🪢 ELMER the hydrogenerator 💙 After sailing to Porto Santo (3 days) we figured there was no way we would make it across the Atlantic without stressing about the charging percentage of our batteries all the way. Those three days had been windy, cloudy and during the hours the sun was out it was always behind the sails casting minimal light on our solar panels. To make it, we had to run the engine to keep the batteries from flatting out. Something we absolutely hate!! Running the engine when there is wind to sail is a big NO NO for us. So we ordered this hydrogenerator, had it delivered to the Canaries and installed it in Teneriffe before our first Atlantic crossing. And it’s been our best friend ever since! 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. We are not sponsored by Remoran to say this, but compared to what we have heard about other hydros breaking and being noisy, we are really glad we chose this one! So seriously - Get one, you won't regret it! The code LINNEASALE5 will give you 5% off any order placed on the Remoran website and free standard DHL shipping within the EU. (Other shipping alternatives are available but excluded from the discount.) The code is working until Feb 28th 2025. If this was useful for your boat life, make sure to save the post for later 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to share this with a friend who should find our page to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼

SV Odd@Sea is a 2012 Leopard 46, for sale by owner. It is our home as we are living aboard, she held us safely for much more than 3,000NM. She is well cared for and upgraded, turn-key, 4-cabin, 4-head catamaran, that is perfect for coastal or blue water sailing. We are currently located in the Bahamas, but will be sailing to the US at the end of the month. With the Starlink RV antenna and router, we have enjoyed high-speed internet connection. Built by Robertson and Caine, and designed by renowned architects Morrelli and Melvin, the Leopard 46 is a blue water cruising catamaran that combines spacious living accommodations, high quality fittings and great performance. Designed with a spacious cockpit and saloon layout that is great for entertaining guests. Inspired by the Leopard 62, the raised helm station is located in the hard top roof with open access to the cockpit and all controls lead aft, for excellent visibility and ease of manoeuvering, making this 46 catamaran a very manageable boat with a limited crew. The starboard and port hulls accommodate two spacious guest cabins each with en-suite head and separate shower. The signature access to the roomy cockpit and aft bathing platform connecting the two transoms, completes this exciting model. Do not miss your chance to own this turn key 46 Leopard Catamaran, a perfect combination of performance and comfort. Unfortunately we need to sell our beloved Odd@Sea due to some family issues that need our full attention. In addition, my first mate (wife), even when she loves sailing, she also realized not on full time basis, so we were thinking of eventually scaling down for now and in close future, living part time on the ground and part time at sea. Odd@Sea has given us our best memories yet, and we are really sad to let her go. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/leopard-46-4/
