How the heck did you fit 400Ah of batteries into a J/120? Is it all under the nav station seat?
Tom,
Our J/120 is often special because it was built in France. There is no water tank under the port settee and that is where the house batteries (Group 27’s) lived. We now have 2 6V AGM batteries on their side in the same space. The benefit of AGM’s is that that can be oriented in way but upside down. The drawback of course is that we only have a water tank that holds 37 gallons so a watermaker is definitely in our future, but we only used 45 gallons for the trip to the Azores.
Thanks for your response to my Sailing Anarchy post on suitability of the J/120 for offshore cruising. I’ve also watched your videos on YouTube. Good stuff! I’m curious where you’ve mounted your solar panels. Thanks.
