Sailing Truth Show: The Systems That Bankrupt Cruisers

Everyone asks, "How much does the boat cost?" Almost nobody asks, "How much does the electricity cost?" Tonight on the Sailing Truth Show, we are breaking down the specific boat systems that drain cruising budgets the fastest. It’s not the hull that bankrupts sailors—it’s the upgrades. We’re talking about the "Lithium Trap," the generator nightmare, and why making your boat "too safe" might actually be making it too expensive to sail. I’m also preparing for a massive interview with the legendary Nigel Calder (author of Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual). I have a list of difficult questions from my Patrons, but tonight, I’m opening the floor to YOU. In this Livestream: The Big 3 Money Pits: Why generators, watermakers, and complex electrics often cost more to own than to buy. Nigel Calder Prep: I’m taking the hardest technical questions from the chat tonight to ask Nigel directly. The "Simple vs. Complex" Debate: Is the era of the simple mechanical diesel officially dead? Drop your questions for Nigel in the chat!
