You're in the wrong area with that question. The posters on here saw toothbushes in half to save weight. TVs - no way.

Can be? It's your decision but I suggest that you search for one that is specifically designed to be waterproof or with low voltage.
++ Did a quick research, apparently there are outdoor tvs like Cosmos Outdoor TV , Sunbrite, Skyview etc. Just check-them out and see for yourself if they have ceiling mounts?

The Motor boat section or Practical Boat owner section will probably be a better place to ask.

I hide the car keys under the wheel arch while sailing to save weight
Next on the list is getting everybody to use the same brand of phone so only one charging lead is required..

Ah, but sawing your toothbrush in half doesn't get your handicap down. IRC does take into account the fit out down below and I know of one particular boat where it was believed they fitted a TV screen which made a difference.

Thanks, right now, I'm browsing on cosmos outdoor tvs and its other mounting options. I'll do more research then.

Hmm,
I did have two TV's on board (down to one now). Didn't help my rating number. Nor the anchor and chain, extra firextinguishers batteries and 150l diesel etc.
IRC isn't for real cruisers.

Forgetting toothbrushes and car keys if the TV is for inside the boat just use a caravan one that runs on 12 volt. Another option that I have seen was a 240 volt one through an inverter hard wired in.

Where do you park the car? Also save even more weight by only having one phone on board fully charged before sailing so no lead required!

projector on the windward quarter and preventer pulling the main back as far as the spreaders?
Plus obviously headphones for everyone so as not to disturb the neighbours aurally as well as visually

You'll be needing some sky hooks then.

If you want to save weight you will need the Casio TV with a 2" screen. To be honest, it wasn't very good but I think we've still got ours somewhere. You're welcome to it, but it's analogue only. They probably use this in Venezuela. On second thoughts, it'll have to be a smartphone.

Fully charged? Think of the weight of all those electrons.

I wouldn't expect it to help you. Once you're a real cruiser you can't get any more real.

I bet the OP was greatly relieved to have the thread finally moved from the "Yacht Racing" forum.
I'm afraid that I can't help either but will at least refrain from commenting on weight reduction.
I can't resist suggesting he has it moved to "Practical Boat Owner's Reader to Reader".
Seriously though, I hope he does get some practical help on "Scuttlebutt".
