Message From The Editor
Current affairs (12V that is)
Here at CYOB we are skipping Omicron; we’re talking about Wiring.
As I open up our editorial pouch after the holidays I am delighted to see that both Ask Andrew and the Boat Nerd are thinking about batteries, 12-volt electrics and polarity. What a pleasure to talk about something else than infection!
Why the sudden interest in boat electric systems. Mike Wheatstone, the Boat Nerd, tells me that everyone perennially asks him about boat wiring and the pandemic has given him an opportunity to create a masterwork for us. Part 1 runs this issue, but I can assure you Mike’s inside view of electric thinking will run as a must-read series for several issues. Once you digest and save the series, you will (mostly) understand what’s under the hood in your electrical systems right from the basics.

Boat DC Electrics part 1
This series deals with basic DC boat wiring concepts. From various articles and posts I see, and talking with boating friends, there seems to be mystery for many when it comes to boat electrics. I don’t intend this to be a deep dive but hopefully enough to take away some of the mystery.

Golden Globe Race 2022: the ultimate open ocean adventure
They say sailing brings you to new horizons. Less than a year away from the start of the Golden Globe Race 2022 - a solo non-stop round the world circumnavigation without modern technology - I can very well say that sailing has changed my life in the literal sense.

Connections at the battery
Rarely have I seen a boat that is bought brand new and continues to look like it rolled off the factory floor a year or two later. Upgrades and changes are inevitable. A new GPS is installed. A cooler is replaced. Lights are swapped out. The list goes on.

Fjaka - latest self-help buzzword or are the Croatians on to something?
A holiday often is defined by the experiences we make in unique and beautiful settings. But what about that indulgently lazy contentment of doing nothing that turns a holiday into a vacation? Croatia has taken their sentiment of Fjaka to heart.
