Great things to have on your boat!!!

Comfort seat are based in Holland, we were introduced to them by friends in Cartagena who loved them but had ordered too many so we bought two of them. We then received the larger chair which is a ‘classic large plus’ while we were in Venice. You can see their range here: https://www.comfortseat.nl/shop/?lang=en
The fire alarm we have is called the Fire angel Atom, but it seems to be out of stock on the UK Amazon site. However there is a version on there which looks the same and has a 10 year life : https://www.amazon.co.uk/HEIMAN-Detector-Certified-Independent-Photoelectric/dp/B07JB7KBPY/ref=dp_prsubs_1?pd_rd_i=B07JB7KBPY&psc=1
Wago connectors are available everywhere, just Google them. The ones I’m using are the 221 which are the newer version to the 222. the older version was larger and grey; these newer ones are better. Don’t be confused by the power rating on the side, there are two lots of figures. The one on the side with the 11mm cable measure is just for Japan.
