Hi Doug,
Thank you very much. Just beginning to develop an interest in owning a Catamaran and this has answered many of the questions I had about engine room equipment. Great boat by the way.
Thanks for the tour, really helpful. Question regarding the water maker, what is the brand and was this a factory installed system? And as long as we are talking systems, what does Wildling have in regards to air conditioning/heat and why did you choose what ever option you selected?
There were two reasons I chose Dessalator. The first is their simple and robust design compared with the Spectra system we had on our last boat. The Spectra was very complex, required a lot of maintenance, and wasn’t very reliable. I think the Dessalator design is much better, and it is certainly much easier to use and maintain. The 2nd reason is that Outremer has installed a large number of Dessalator systems over many years with excellent results. It was factory installed by Outremer during the build.
I wanted a modular system (not a central chilled water system) so we could run just one or two zones at a time as needed. It also needed to be as light as possible, and energy efficient, since we don’t have a generator. Cruisair makes the best system I could find that meets these criteria.
Hi Doug
Really enjoying getting to know Wildling better. I understand why you love this cutting edge boat so much.

Hi Gary,
