If cruising in Pacific waters outside the hurricane season for up to 6 months, a yacht has to be self supporting and resilient to all conditions. Therefore on board of Alexandra none of the vital systems can be a ‘single point of failure’. This means there is always at least one backup/secondary system available when the main/primary system fails.

Multiple systems are:

•  Many independent GPS receivers (Garmin, Magellan Meridian and 2 tablets, 2 phones)
• 2 fully independent ways of position information (GPS, Sextant)
• 3 compasses (B&G, Sestrel Moore)
• 4 ways of weather information (Inmarsat-C, Pactor SSB, weather fax, voice SSB)
• 2 barometers (1 barograph, 1 clock
• 3 brass shipclocks
• VHF transceivers (Icom)
• SSB voice receivers (Icom M710)
• 2 Stationary for navigation (2 with OpenCpn and CMAP) (note: 2 stationary computers  included in sale)
• 2 ways of e-mail connection on high seas (Inmarsat-C, Pactor SSB)
• 2 satelite emergency beacons (Inmarsat-C, 406 EPIRB)
• 2 ways of emergency flares (Flaregun, handheld flares)
• 4 diffent bilgepumps (Automatic electric, manual, high volume Jabsco, bailing buckets)
• 2 autopilots (B&G, Navico WP5000)
• speed sensors , GPS (B&G impellor)
• 2 independent depth sounders (B&G , leadline)
• manual steering by steering wheel, emergency tiller or autopilot power steering
• 4 ways of battery charging (Yanmar alternators, 2x 220V chargers, solar power, towing generator)
• multiple ways of starting Yanmar and Generator(Not operational) (emergency parallel switch, startercables)
• 2 fridges (75, 90 ltr) and a separate 75 ltr freezer (Only one operational)
• 2 heads (electric and manual)
• 3 showers (each with mixing tap)
• 3 ways of cooking ( LPG burners, LPG barbeque, Inductive 220V plate)
• 2 composite LPG tanks 4kg & 6kg
• Hot water cylinder (60 ltr) is heated either by 220V power and/or main engine coolant
• 3 separate water tanks (180, 170, 220 liters)
• 2 ways of  fresh water replenishment (desalinator, water catchments)
• 2 separate dieselfuel tanks (2x 350 liters) and 60L daytank
• manual and automatic electric fuel transferpump to refill the fuel daytank
• 2 separate 150 ltr blackwater tanks (each with macerator pump and crossover connection)
• 2 anchors (30 kg gen 4 anchor, 15 lbs Fortress)
• 2 ways of electric hoisting of mainsail (Cockpit winch motor, anchorwinch capstan via snapblock)
• 3 ways of closing and locking companion way (closed hatch, plexiglas, ventilation hatch)
• 2 ways of MOB signalling (float with flag, dan buoy)
