Over here you just have to have red positive black neutral. Main cranking battery probally a 90ah auto battery, for the house set 4 6v traction batteries 2 each in series to give 12v then in parallel each are approx 150 ah so should give me about 300ah of battery, reason I am using these is the dimension give me more ah for the space available. Wiring up the galley today and lining out with plastic sheeting basically commercial kitchen walling you just stick it to the wall with high grab adhesive. Got to do the garden tomorrow under orders from her indoors as they say over here.

Hello Colin,

It has been almost a year since you left a message. How are things in England? What about the construction of the TW28?
Do you perhaps already have an idea when you are going to cross the North Sea? Peter and I would like to be present on your arrival on the mainland. A TW28 meeting of three boats is quite a unique situation! Not shown before.

Cheers for the birthday wishes. Have been out of circulation for a bit. Dad died in the Autumn he did well he was 94 but I have had to sort out the estate, mainly done now. Under pressure to do some work on the house ( first time in 7 years) after that back onto the boat
