Better to wrap a few bottles in a bit of soaked towelling , hang them in the rigging, and use evaporative cooling.On what proportion of the circumnavigation will that prove effective?

Reply to a comment above where there was a complaint about warm beer in the Solent..In theory, yes, but the shop bought chorizo we use doesn't even survive being in the slightly warmer door section of the fridge. Best thing is to put it in the freezer.

Last year in Montt met a bloke from Mexico Norte who actually liked Spam. He bought two - maybe three of these Supermercado | Jumbo.clCome to Galicia all your food requisitos catered for offshore sailing,hard baked bread,chorizos and cured hams…..
Absolutely. We loaded the boat to the gunwales when we were in Spain. Olive oil, wine, butter, pesto. And of course chorizo. We only just finished the last bottle of olive oil a few weeks ago, more than two years after we left Spain.Come to Galicia all your food requisitos catered for offshore sailing,hard baked bread,chorizos and cured hams…..
You don't want it?Interesting.........we have a complete Aquair on board but not installed (it came with the boat). Been contemplating if it was worth installing. Perhaps I should. Did you run it through a regulator? I think, in water mode, a regulator is not recommended but not sure.
How much power did you get out of yours?You don't want it?
I'll take it off your hands
If its the same as the aquagen then yes it need a regulator and dump resistor.
Needs the voltage set to suit your batts - raw volts are I think - like solar - about 18V.
Then when it considers your batts are charged it has to dump its load . On the Aquagen the resistor is maybe 12" by 1" and a bit diam. Makes a humming noise and gets quite warm. Excellent handwarmer in a cold climate.
You can route the electrons somewhere else but never quite figured that bit out.
Ships biscuits don’t have fat as it goes rancid. They’re extremely basic on purpose, just a way to make flour edible and prevent it spoiling really.long lasting tasty dry ships biscuits
Well theses ships biscuits have been in the cupboard for months…..enough to get across the Atlanticata guess!Ships biscuits don’t have fat as it goes rancid. They’re extremely basic on purpose, just a way to make flour edible and prevent it spoiling really.
Quite a small one!In theory, yes, but the shop bought chorizo we use doesn't even survive being in the slightly warmer door section of the fridge. Best thing is to put it in the freezer.

Presumably sealed in an oxygen free environment in some plastic. Not a ships biscuit, I’m sure they are great though.Well theses ships biscuits have been in the cupboard for months…..enough to get across the Atlanticata guess!
Starts producing at just above 2 knots. At 5knots - 5 amps. Ramps up from thereHow much powerdiddo you get out of yours?
Doesn't sound like proper chorizo then. Demand a refund!In theory, yes, but the shop bought chorizo we use doesn't even survive being in the slightly warmer door section of the fridge. Best thing is to put it in the freezer.

On early years of flotillas in the Med, with no fridge on board, I took a netting shopping bag on purpose to dangle beer cans in the sea for use when a shore-side bar was available. But did have to defend against swimmers from the rest of the flotilla...For cool beer around the UK, just trail the bottles/cans in a net behind the boat, or, in the outboard well if on a real budget boat.
Everything is relative - 20ºC is warm to some - cold to others esp if they are coming from Panama.Doesn't sound like proper chorizo then. Demand a refund!
For dangling stuff out the back, it will be effective on one part of a circumnavigation. A few days out of Panama, you will reach the very cold current coming up from Antarctica. This turns west and heads out beyond the Galapagos, very close to the equator. Tip. If you think it would be a good wheeze to jump over the side and swim across it, be prepared for the water to be flippin cold. The Galapagos fat boy seals know this. I didn't. But you could warm up afterwards with a nice plate of chorizo and pasta if you fridge is broken.

Valparaiso there’s a destination!Everything is relative - 20ºC is warm to some - cold to others esp if they are coming from Panama.
The Humbolt stops being really cold - sub 13 - at about Valpo.

Not really. I think the word 'de-gentrified' fits quite well. Was a dump, became gentrified, has since gone back to being a dump. The brightly painted houses on the hills above the town are mainly shabby shanties and the famous 'escaladores'(sp) ? One maybe two still work.Valparaiso there’s a destination!
Oh well!…….sort of like BognorRegis?Not really. I think the word 'de-gentrified' fits quite well. Was a dump, became gentrified, has since gone back to being a dump.

A few nice bits and worth a day trip if you are holidaying at Vina del Mar.
Lots nicer just down the coast at the Algarrobo marina and the beaches of El Quisco.
