MCA coding

Hi all

Does anyone know about coding DF800 for UK commercial use?
What area category would you get?

Any comments welcome, thanks.

I’m sure it’s symmetric - although I can’t check until I get back to the boat. There’s no bowsprit on the boat. I think it’s controlled by sheets at tack and clew that run through the fittings right on the forward end of each float and then back to the cockpit somehow... But what is a barberhaul?? Jim

Spinnaker rigging and sailing

Hi everyone
I’d really appreciate some guidance on how to rig up and sail with spinnaker. I have one but have never used it - most often sailing solo.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Christian - it was indeed a poor connection which must have meant inadequate current despite some charge in the battery.

Cheers,

Blown electrics

Hey. I plugged a searchlight into my cigarette lighter and all the electrics have gone. Fuses seem intact🤔. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Anchor questions

Hi everyone
I would really appreciate some advice about main anchor and second (kedge) anchor: types, weights, length of chain and size of chain for each.
Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Hi everyone. Setting up my new DF800 I realise I don’t know how to rig the continuous line to haul out the wings. Any help / photos very welcome.
