Your sailing profile

You make long sailing trips and have plans for a trip around the world. All extended voyages require careful preparation and route planning, plus the right equipment onboard. Your electric system needs a great deal of attention, not least because you will be using many consumers throughout the vessel and have specific power facilities such as the navigation system to cater for.

 

Issues of redundancy are also a vital consideration should a calamity occur. By intelligently separating consumers, for example forward, amidships and aft, you ensure maximum continuity and know that any possible disruption need not totally shut everything down at the same time.

Your onboard consumers include:

The Basics

  • All Mastervolt systems have been designed for faultless operation and complete user friendliness. Their reliability is unprecedented and on the rare occasions when something does go wrong our worldwide service network will quickly find a solution.
  • You charge your batteries with heavy alternators on the main engine and via the generator. You are completely independent from shore power.
  • The maximum AC capacity is 2000 Watt for the microwave/oven; however, you will only use this for a relatively short period of time.
  • Cable conduits can be less wide with the decentralised MasterBus system so you have more space.
  • You have a high-quality advanced navigation and communication station that includes GPS, marine telephone, plotter and speedometer, wind meter and depth gauges. This needs to operate seamlessly in all circumstances, taking into account possible dips in the power supply due to the use of electric winches and/or bowthruster.
