I think all the advice has raised awareness of the complexities to this type of installation. That's why I stated I would avoid the technical detail because there are too many variables (even your earthing comments are a technical subject on their own depending earthing points , fault currents...

Your response is the exact reason I stated would stay away from the technical aspects of proposed installation. In my case I only intend to power a single socket for a 800w kettle (to minimise gas usage while under way). In doing so I would hope to be fully in compliance with best practice for...

Reluctant to be prescriptive so Ill just describe my proposed system again. My shore power feeds my in board charger on its own circuit and as such is separated from the sockets protected by their own RCB. No conflict with inverter project. 12v from battery bank (via existing fused circuit )...

Will try and answer your question by explaining what I am doing similar to you. Given the price of Camping Gaz I intend to install a 12v DC to 240V Inverter to power my boat appliances (when not connected to shore power}. I have on board mains shore powered Quick battery charger to maintain...

This is a reputable uk sailmaker according to feedback.

Have rod battens with Spear end supplied with sail and instructions say install from luff in batten cars. Assume the ends must have to press into a pocket at the leech side.

Yes , and no. Had discussed when ordered as supplier only did rod fully batten mains . Returned the first set with explanation and promised replacement but on arrival same issue with batten pockets. So seeking more knowledgeable feedback before i challenge supplier.

I note you have either 3 or 4G Broadband radar which does not work on a pulse echo !!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????

Just to add to the debate 3G and 4G Radars which are quite common now do not work on a pulse echo so radar reflectors etc not effect to the same extent. !!!???

UK based so as yet not sure but awaiting reply- but in meantime curious to confirm the quality and service of their reputation.

Anyone know of this French Sailmaker or purchased their sails. Looking for feedback as in market for a new headsail. They are well priced if the quality is OK?!!

Thank you for taking time to reply. Have i think talked to all of them but they dont have template for my model and insist they need to measure and fit. Unfortunately we are in the North of Ireland so they have declined. Agree Tecsew etc.are quality suppliers.

Anyone bought a sprayhood from this company. Seem to be only outfit making Bavaria original fit products. No response so far to my enquires.

Any tips on restoring faded blue UV strip. Its is otherwise in good condition. Tried Teflon spray etc.but to no avail.
