In the special section for this issue we focus on sun, wind and water electrical power. We have circumnavigator and alternative energy expert Bill Morris looking at configurations of solar, wind and water power for best performance on the modern cruising yacht. Morris explains how these inputs vary based on boat size, ocean sailing versus coastal cruising, and crew needs. In the power voyaging column, expert Jeff Merrill explains that for many of the issues that crop up on a trawler, often the best solution is: RTFM (Read the {Factory} Manual). He discusses how to assemble and organize manuals for easy reference. In the ocean voyaging story, circumnavigator Ellen Leonard describes the magic of making landfall for the first time and how landfall remains special for the ocean sailor every time land appears on the horizon after a passage. In other stories, we get a report from a voyager who has a 3D printer on his boat and uses it to make custom replacement parts and a voyager describes equipment he had aboard and how it performed on an offshore trip that involved heavy weather. Plus, the nav problem and more.
