Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran APPLICATION EXAMPLE Frits Boonen and his wife Liza will soon be setting off on a circumnavigation. For the next ten years they will be living aboard their Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 - a catamaran which they have adapted for their voyage. One of those adaptations was to remove the propane gas cooker - both because of the inherent dangers of gas, and because it can be a real hassle to find replacement cylinders in remote locations around the world. The galley is now all-electric - boasting an induction hob, electric oven, electric Barbecue, and a washing machine. To support all these new conveniences their power supply had to be re-imagined. Frits and Liza want to lie to their anchor independent from the shore for up to two months at a time without using shore-based battery-charging.
