Sailing to La Nautique, autopilot, de-humidifier, cartographie and more!
Good outing yesterday during Thursday Practice, where I got the chance again to take Mamma Mia and sail with YCC crew to La Nautique Geneve, stop there for a fast mooring and sail back by night. Was important to me to evaluate the peformance of the autopilot under spinnaker, and have a look at the new port a La Nautique, in case I will sleep there before the regatta.
While the boat was steering with the autopilot, I was checking and fixing many things on board, and the crew was doing a Knots lesson for Level0, or sailing the boat.
- Lights and battery seems to work
- Autopilot works fine, but it still needs calibration
- Added de-humidifier, meteo station with thermo-meter, hygrometer and retro-illuminated clock
- Tested my headlamp, one is very good, the other two are not sufficently bright on red light, but I will take them as backup
- Navionics GPS on my phone, only works if the phone is outside the cabin. Full charts of the lake on board! Mamma Mia moored at La Nautique Geneve !
