Gas and electricity
Gas
With the exception of Marbled White and Kathleen May, gas for cooking is provided from bottles. If the gas runs out while you are on holiday, you will need to call us so that we can talk you through the switch-over procedure from the empty to the full one.
In an emergency, if you smell gas or are at all concerned, shut off the gas near each of the gas appliances inside the boat and call us. You should also close the valve on the bottle itself.
Electric
The electrics are on 12v and 240v systems. The electricity isolators are under the back decks.
Battery usage
You will need to cruise for around 5 hours a day in order to keep the batteries topped up. If this isn’t possible, then you either need to run your engine whilst stationary, or plug in at a marina.
Some electrical appliances on board draw a lot of power from the batteries including:
- Microwave
- Toaster
- Nespresso machine
- Hairdryer
If your boat has these items, we suggest you use them one at a time, and only when the engine is running.
