Two new things today. First, a replacement for our much abused Makita drill which has given up. The grip on the chuck for changing drills was already worn to the point of being very hard to tighten or release, the motor has been struggling for a while too. So new, more powerful one with harder wearing metal parts. Plus the cutest little kettle for our Refleks stove. Now we don't need to use electricity (if we have the diesel stove on) to make tea/coffere or do the washing up :-) We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

The 2021 Nautitech 40 Open owner version catamaran is a remarkable sailing vessel designed for those who appreciate both speed and comfort. It provides ample space for onboard living and exceptional stability. The vessel is suitable for various marine environments, including shallow waters. Inside, the catamaran features three cabins and two bathrooms, providing six fixed berths, with an option to convert the saloon table into additional sleeping space. Powering the Nautitech 40 Open are two Volvo Penta D1-30F engines, each delivering 30 horsepower, combined with a lightweight 550 Ah lithium battery system and 1185 watts of solar power. These features ensure the vessel's energy efficiency and independence, crucial for extended blue water cruising. Enhancements like Coppercoat antifouling and folding propellers further optimize performance. Additional onboard amenities, such as a water maker and a washing machine, underscore the vessel's commitment to self-sufficiency and long-term comfort. Having been delivered from France and sailed 17,006 nautical miles to the US East Coast over three years, this catamaran is well-proven in its capabilities. The Nautitech 40 Open comes equipped with numerous upgrades and options, including an electric anchor windlass, comprehensive navigation systems with B&G electronics, and cockpit and interior enhancements for added comfort. Features like the FUSION audio system, custom Tempur mattresses, and practical items such as a cockpit enclosure and sunshades make life on board both enjoyable and convenient. Additionally, safety equipment, a dinghy with an outboard engine, and an array of spare parts ensure the vessel is prepared for any journey, making it an ideal choice for dedicated sailors seeking adventure on the high seas.
