Hi Dave,
Not just the early 27s, ours was one of the last ones made and we have the
(very effective) solar panel, too. It's our only source of recharging and
works well to run the GPS, autopilot, starter, and lights. We do use a boom box
for tunes and carry a "jumper battery" for aux use, like running the DVD/TV
and anchor light. I'm not sure where you'd be able to mount a panel like that
on a 24, though.
Happy Sails to You,
Jim Bathurst
