My friends have raced their livaboard cat for a decade. It's a seriously fast cat sailed by some seriously good Laser sailors. They have recently gone electric. It is interesting to see how much they like electric cooking. It is easy to install lots of solar on cats but this may interest the mono people out there too.



cheers

Phil,
Thanks for the video share and your friends input.

I do hope I'm making the right choice, in the shed tonight I assembling a gimballed LPG (Eno Duo) with a 240V air fryer below mounted in my old Roden LPG oven frame.


I went this way in a mono as we need a gimballed cooktop, we also don't like our Induction cooktop at home especially when water boils over and the induction stops working until you remove the pot, wipe top down then start again. I can't see how it would work on a passage in a mono.

I originally fitted the ENO Duo stove with the factory gimbal, the original gimbals are terrible, couldn't fit our two favourite pots side by side, also they looked like they would do a nasty injury if you fell on the gimbals.

By my unscientific tests, induction at home then kettle on ENO on the boat, a modern heat exchanger kettle is about the same speed as an induction cooktop to boil water.


I hope having LPG and Airfryer will provide a level of redundancy.

will tell you if it works after I get back from December trip.

I put one of these on my Martzcraft 35. It takes about an hour to warm up pies from cold to very hot. Easy to fit and not very expensive.

Hello ECS - I thought you had a Cole 23? Obviously you have upgraded? To what? regards Rob

Rob,
You may be thinking of someone else, series of multihulls, cats and tri, then Elliott sports boat, now an Arends 33.

For some reason each successive boat gets slower but a better sea boat.

So the time from dropping sails to heading into marina to tying up and doing 15 minutes packup chores would be about 1 hour.

I could totally buy into the pie oven thing. Looks like you can do it for less than 200 bucks as well.

might need to not hang it off the Nav lighting circuit like everything else but
