Wouldn't there still have to be cables connecting non-penetrating masts to whatever gizmo inside the hull that's associated with it? |
In a word: yes. Electrical fittings are so numerous they are not worth mentioning. There is a separate hydraulic system associated with sail components. Hydraulic system components are located inboard (AMR) while the hydraulic lines are fitted to the hull. |
EHP's (Electrical Hull Penetrations)
They are NUMEROUS, especially when talking about boats with external tubes (VLS, or flight II 688's)
Working on those can be interesting. Nothing like sitting in a ballast tank and looking through the pressure hull into the people-tank while one is being repaired. We really trust those welders, don't we?
