Performing sailing pre-passage checks on a sailboat ensures a safe and successful voyage. Ensuring the automatic bilge pump works is one important aspect of these checks. The automatic bilge pump removes any water that enters the boat, whether from rain, waves, or leaks. If the bilge pump is not working, the water could accumulate and cause the boat to become unstable, affecting the boat's performance and putting everyone onboard at risk. By checking the automatic bilge pump before setting sail, you can ensure that it is functioning properly and that any water that enters the boat will be promptly removed. This reduces the risk of damage to the boat and helps prevent potentially dangerous situations from developing. Discover three reasons our automatic bilge went off while sailing so you know what to do if it happens to you.

This is the new solar panel support option! It allows for 6 370W LG panels to be placed aft of the rigging blocks located on the cockpit roof. I believe this option is only available when going for the "ES" (Extended Scoop) model/option, as that model has more buoyancy aft. The two panels that are in front of the four you can see are mounted athwartship (sideways), which opens up more access to the boom and also makes those panels less likely to be shaded by the boom or mainsail. In addition to the above, it also provides shade/protection for the tender. These supports are made from carbon fiber and then fiberglassed and carbon fibered onto the coach roof and each can support a person hanging from them. Mira is being built with these supports and a total of 8 370W panels. The additional two will be mounted forward on the coach roof; one on the port side, one on the starboard.
