SAILS....Lazarette
|
The lazarette is
accessed through a heavy steel hatch on the lower back porch. It is
a short step down to an amazingly large storage area. Important
electrical equipment, dock lines and paint are stored here, leaving a lot
of room for personal items and water toys.
The isolation transformer prevents "stray current" from other
boats grounding through Sails' steel hull, but also allows boosting a low
208 volts at the dock up to the proper 240 volts that all the electrical
systems aboard require. The switching panel shown here gives the
voltage and frequency of the current coming on board before throwing
the breaker. These breakers also choose whether the current is
coming from the forward or aft shore power lines.
