Below are a few of the first pictures of my new arch.   It was built by Riley Marine in Long Beach.   Some of the items that have been incorporated in it are:

Stern rail seats
Davits that can be utilized for both dingy and engines - they swing 270 degrees and also lock into place
Solar panel mounts
Speaker attachments
LED cockpit lighting - both red and white
Raised stern light
Stern spotlight
GPS, HF and spare VHF antenna mounts
Wind generator pole
Loops on arch foot for attaching a block to fly the spinnaker

My

Karma's power is managed by a M2012 Trace charger / inverter.  A Lifeline Smart
 Regulator dishes out just the right amount of charge for everything.  The battery bank
 is made up of 3 Rolls Surette HHG8D batteries producing a total of 855 amp hours.
A separate AMG starting battery is isolated.

Two Siemens SM55 solar pannels are mounted on the starboard and port stern rails and
trickle juice into the battery bank.  All of the import and export is managed through
 a E-meter which is a handy little device that keeps track of battery use, trickle in,
 averages useage and projects time left.

I'ts a Dingy made by Ta Shing - it came with the Baba 40 when it was originally purchased from Tashing

The sails on Karma were original and the shape was pretty well blown out of them.
Knowing I wanted to take her cruising, new sails were an absolute must.   Lucky for me,
 my good friend Carol Hasse (Hasse & Company, Port Townsend Sails) makes the best
 crusing sails on the planet! 

A trip to the loft in Port Townsend for her Sail Repair Seminar convinced me - I absolutley
 had to have her sails on my boat.   I quickly put my deposit down and took my place
on the waiting list.

When the big day came, I couldn't believe the size of the packages.   The full batten main
 came in a 15' long tube 18" in diameter.   It was quite a logistical challenge to get it
 down to the boat.  Hasse recommended a full batten, loose footed main which
 I am very happy with.

The boat sails like a dream and we have now finished the sail inventory which consists
 of a full batten, loose footed main, a 110% genny, a staysail, storm staysail, storm mainsail
 and a spin-drifter.    The spin-drifter was custom made by Megan at Pt. Townsend Sails
 who did a full inlay of an 18 foot in diameter white hibiscus.   As you can see from the
 photos, it is quite spectacular.   Hasse joined us for the maden voyage with the spin-drifter
 on the Newport to Ensenada race in April of 07 and it flew beautifully.

Thanks Megan, Hasse and team for  your wonderful quality craftsmanship!
