Sorry, I'm an expert yacht electrician and I used to teach 12v electrical

Ah, in between these other activities, no doubt?

1981
Bought my first sailing yacht, an old wooden lightning that had been
glassed over and weighed twice as much as it should have. Even so, I won
every race I entered by a wide margin. (Besides the Marconi rig and
tributyltin bottom paint, I have some other tricks up my sleeve that I
have yet to reveal.)
