significant portion of the ballast. VBG.



It has solar panels now, but with not enough sun, the battery
soon succumbed. Given you can't push-start a sailboat, this
caused a major issue. Especially since we had no car available.



"the battery"....(1)? Thats a problem right there.

How big si the boat and what model is it?
