Driven by the wind, powered by the sun, steered by the wind. Sail now

This heater is fueled from a dedicated 10 litre diesel tank.
The heater can be operated with a remote
The heater is in the midships hanging locker opposite the head
It is fitted with a “silent” (but not quite) dose pump
There is a 12 volt fuel transfer pump to fill this tank
The heater exhausts through the cabin top with a special rain stop cover
