We went to the boat show today. Crowds are MUCH better on Thursday- and vendors and boat sales/design folks actually have the time and inclination to chat a little.
After much research and reading, I talked to the reps from Balmar today and got my new Electrical charging system figured out. It was nice to get some good feedback directly from the source (as well as to answer questions that I had from all that I learned searching the subject here and elsewhere). Seems like I should be able to put a whole new system in (minus batteries) for around $800.
We also picked out our next boat! We're starting to plan to put a serious racing program together starting in the 2007 season and we're thinking that the new Rocket 22 will be the boat to do it in. It's a very solid boat that could be sailed with a core crew of about 4 or 5 people.
Also, anyone ever been on a Gozzard? WOW! Nice people as well.
Anyway, just thought I'd share the highlights...
