JP>        We are all human, Ben. All suffer different levels of perfection

JP>  in my sloop even when using twin D8s batteries. Do not try and lift one
JP>  by yourself. I went to air generator, 4' propellor on a 80 amp
JP>  alternator but if I let the batteries go down too much, I needed a gale
JP>  to keep that alternator churning.


Here in the "States" we call them 8D's. BUT one of the Boat Yards
here in SAn Diego had a fella that could carry one of those alone. Don't
think you would want to mess with him NOR his Girlfriend.  :-)
