What is the smallest yacht you have come across with a generator and a watermaker?

They have that boat in bits. Have you seen how badly built it is?

I've not caught up on the last couple of episodes since they started ripping the interior out, but the rippled hull sounded worrying!

U
Bulkheads with huge gaps and hardly any glass fixing them in place. That boat is very poorly constructed

I'll take a look. I'm surprised they didn't spot all that when they first had it. I seem to remember they pretty much had it stripped down the the bare bones back then, but I guess not.

Apparently not quite far enough. What they found is pretty horrifying - quite bad enough, potentially, for them to set off on passage and never be heard of again. Pearsons should be hanging their heads in shame. Still, it does show that GRP boats are a lot tougher than we think, and even grotty ones can look after you. All the same, glad to see them doing it properly this time.

I was running my watermaker off a Honda generator but just use an inverter now, often when under way. Haven't used the Honda for two seasons. Will sell it, I think.

My 37 foot Dehler had three cabins. One is now for storage and the watermaker (tubes fitted under the deck).
