Here we are, 4 days after Australia announcing a return to the America's Cup and not a peep on the pre-eminent Australian Sailing forum page?
For me, the America's Cup has been a big part of the first half of my life. From watching Australia II in '83, to being semi-involved for '87, and then on the front line for '92 and '95, I've lived the good life.
I'm not a big fan of where the cup is going, but I'm still a big fan of the AC, which makes me ask the question, where are all the others! ;)

Hi all
I'm okay with electrical wiring but audio on the boat is not my greatest thing.

I have a 30 foot cat with basically netting between the hulls, and at the moment I only have music in one hull. My intention was to mouse some wires through the cross-beams and fit a pair of speakers in that hull too. The stereo is 4 channel so that part's okay.

As far a wire though I thought about running 4mm tinned twin-core electrical wire to cut down on losses, but will this diminish the signal getting to the other hull? Is there such a thing as marine grade speaker cable?

Thanks in advance, I'm sure that once I've got toons in both hulls I'll be more inclined to go out and do more maintenance... ;)

Edit: I have also replaced the connections with marine spade & socket plugs rather than the tubular stereo plugs as I couldn't buy the tubular plugs

I bought one of these a few months back.
The head is supposedly water-proof so I use it standing on the deck and dip the head in the water for scrubbing.

Hi Franchetto, this section is more for yacht sailing stuff. You might get better replies in the Windsurfing General section... ;)
