An AIS transponder and mast-mounted Furuno radar help ensure you can be seen and monitor surrounding vessels.

The VHF radio includes a new remote mic at the helm.

Downstairs at the nav station, an OpenCPN-based chartplotter displays all necessary data, plots courses, provides weather information, monitors batteries, and even streams music.

There are two sources for anchor alarms to provide peace of mind when on the hook.

Starlink is installed and can easily be transferred to a new account.

Mandala is fully self-sufficient and allows you to live off the grid.

With over 1,800 W of solar, 800 Ah of LiFePO4 batteries, and a Victron inverter, you rarely need to plug in.

The hot water heater can be powered by the engine or by onboard electricity.

A heating and air conditioning system is installed and can operate on battery power if needed.
