Charging booster with very good efficiency, charging current continuously adjustable via app
The charging booster is currently being tested during our spring cruise.

So far, it's working perfectly!

I've replaced my lead-acid leisure batteries with three LiFePO4 batteries. The starter battery remains lead-acid.

My charging and power supply setup now consists of:

- 1 x Victron 15A mains charger for the lead-acid battery

- 1 x Victron 30A mains charger for the lithium batteries

- 1 x Victron 15A solar charge controller for the leisure batteries

- 1 x Victron 1212 50 charge booster

- 1 x Ective 300S battery box, 300Ah, approx. 3600W, primarily for mains-powered devices including TV, cool boxes, induction cooktops, Thermomix, contact grill, air fryer, etc.

I'm still working on fine-tuning the settings, because according to the Victron Connect A0, the leisure batteries are usually charged via the 15A charger, which is intended exclusively for the lead-acid starter battery, presumably indirectly. My new charging booster seems to think, even when connected to shore power, that my engine is running and that it should be charging both the starter and house batteries.

What would a skipper's life be without unsolved mysteries...?

Unsatisfactory
I received this flag line today as a replacement delivery. First of all, replacement deliveries are ridiculously expensive. Secondly, with a 100m order, one would expect a roll and not all in one heap, right? No, lately my long-standing high level of satisfaction with SVB has really dwindled.

It would be nice if the shoulders of the hook eye were more rounded. As it is, the block isn't suitable for attaching to a strop or rope eye. Otherwise, it's okay.

High-priced
I'm already very satisfied, but now I'll wait and see how the season goes at Lake Zwischenahn. At that price, there's still a little room for improvement in terms of coverage.

I use this part as a rudder vang cleat.

An initial test (at approximately 6 knots) shows that the cleat holds and doesn't release prematurely. In case of grounding, it can be manually released at any time (even at full tension).

Thus, torn or broken vangs are a thing of the past.

I previously had a cam cleat, which tore the vang sheath several times.

Signal Horns, brass View Ratings (37) €15.95
This horn does what you would expect it to do...
...it toots.

I had one before, but the first one broke. So I bought it again. So far, my calls have always been answered. :-) I don't know what else to say. It's better than a vuvuzela from a gas station and easier to install than an air horn with a compressor. It's always ready to use as long as the user is still breathing—even at the ends of the earth at night during a power outage. I really appreciate products like this.

It fits well, isn't bothersome, and does what it's supposed to. The brim is just the right amount more flexible than on the Musto hat, resulting in less wind resistance. The secure fit has been confirmed in practice; even in gusty 20 knots, the hat stayed firmly and securely in place without the chin strap, both on my wife and me (different head shapes – I have a crooked head ;)
Whale pumps
Very good pumps. Not much has changed and maintenance kits are readily available. Even for pumps that are 40 years old.

Brand name holder
We compared this hat to two competitor products. It fits significantly worse, too snugly, and is therefore very easily lost if the chin strap isn't pulled tight. Apparently, functionality has been sacrificed for fashionable design. The purpose of being able to button up the sides remains unclear. Does it look more dashing? The Gill hat is also more adjustable.
