Emergency pumps
On each side of the aft platform, 1 emergency bilge generator resp. 1 fire pump are located, operated manually and with a capacity of 30 m3 resp. 25 m3.
Self-evacuating Desmi pumps with Hartz engines
The fire pump can also run the sprinkler.
General electrical overview
In a time of ever-increasing power consumption, we have created a low-energy installation.
While sailing we use solely LED lighting throughout the ship with extremely low consumption.
The daily energy consumption is covered 70-80 percent by solar cells (placed on top of the deckhouse); in case of high consumption, batteries can be charged by a generator or by land power.
Batteries
• 2 sets of batteries 600/300 Ah
• 1 set of emergency batteries for navigation 240 Ah, placed in connection with the navigation console
• 1 set of emergency batteries for the radio 150 Ah, placed on top of the deckhouse
• 10 solar cell panels, each yielding on average 24 V, 20 kWh/day
• 1 generator main engine 100 Ah
• 1 generator 80 Ah
• 1 charger 220 V land power 120 Ah
• 2 charging relays for emergency batteries
The rigging
• The rigging consists of main mast and mizzen mast, manufactured in anodized aluminium with rods in stainless steel. The whole rigging is estimated with a safety margin of maximum load x 2.25.
• The booms are of the ParkAvenue type, indicating they are very wide in order to catch the sails in a safe way.
• The foresails are of the manual furler type
• The main and mizzen sails are of the full batten type; the sail cloth is a Spectra canvas, providing low weight, stable form and long lifetime.
• 1 winch control station with 4 large Harken winches midships provides the “engine” of the sailing and is perfectly located for quick orders and manoeuvres.
The keel
The keel box is manufactured in ship steel grade A, filled with led, blasted and painted. It is fixed to the ship hull with 36 M30 bolts, in addition to being glued with Sikaflex.
The rudder
The rudder is a free-hanging spade rudder, made of aluminium and with bearings in hull and deck. It is manoeuvred with 2 hand pumps.
The rudder is manufactured at Svendborgs Skipsveft, Denmark.
Steering engine Tenfjord.
