She has a new battery bank with 1236Ah in 6 Lithium batteries.
She is a 110v boat but can shorecharge from both 110v 60 Hz and 230v 50 Hz power sources (should you ever need to with all that solar!)

Remote monitoring of the boat is possible from anywhere in the world via the Victron Energy portal in combination with transmissions from the 4G Connect internet connection.
The 4th cabin has been turned into a luxury shower and vanity area.

The boat has hot and cold water throughout and 2 * 11 gallon water heaters run from either batteries or engines.

There is a hot and cold fresh water deck shower, an electric induction hob and 2 electric winches.

Starlink and Iridium Go as backup are both installed for safety and fast internet coverage wherever you are on the ocean.

She is a fast, dry and a pleasurable boat to sail short-handed. With her large volume and comfortable accommodation, she offers impressive home-from-home comfort. The Looping is fully equipped with all creature-comforts one would expect from this fast family-cruiser, the owner has spared no expense in maintaining the boat at all times.
