Solar Energy

At least the energy managment is solved. A 250Wp 24V photovoltaic modul is mounted. Together with a special regulator and a powerful battery bank make the energy system of Reliant autonomous.
20 Amps charging power should be sufficient!!

Back in Spain

Finally Reliant is back in Almerimar - South Spain. After the nightmare in the yard in Marina Smir, Morocco. Relinat was enclosed between 3 Mega Yates in the Dry Dock and the Marine Boss told us that we have to pay for all the movements off this 3 Yates, necessary reach Reliant with the Travellift. At least 8 hores of working time. We realy fuckt up!!
Fortunately the Captain from Marina Smir is Spanish so we can talk with him in an other language than Arabic or French and after a tens conversation he gave the order to bring Reliant back in the Water with out the horrible addicional cost for the other movements.
And so we start on time for crossing again the Alboran sea. Wind with up to 35n from W and the typical currant in the strait of Gibraltar push Reliant with almost 9,5n direction Almerimar.
Marc and me just take 22 hours for the 140 miles. A verry good turn. We love saling!!

 

Trip to Africa

Last week Reliant went to Marina Smir in the north western mediterranean coast of Morocco. It was a stormy ride crossing the "Alboran Sea" in December with just 9 Bft.
But Reliant is a very strong vessel and a good storm sailer, so vessel and crew arrived well and in time in Marina Smir. 140 miles in just 22h. And the most of the time with just 5 sqm storm jib. I can´t imagine a better saling vessel for our project.
A verry huch thanks to Eddy and Walter for participate at this windy trip.
Now Reliant will stay in the dry dock in Marina Smir until spring 2014.

Cockpit Seats

More confort in the Cockpit. We just coverd the seats with Iroko - wood. Another touch of luxury for our Reliant...and for the Crew :-)
