Reefing, jib and main handling are all worked from the upper helm without leaving the wheel. Aisling is equipped with the iconic Versahelm adjustable helm position. The upper helm position offers visibility of course track and sail shape at the same time, with push-button control for the electric winches easily operated by foot switches. In the lower-helm position, the wheel drops into the cockpit alongside the living space, with sightlines through the tempered glass salon windows and shelter from weather. Both stations have a Raymarine multifunction display chart plotter and autopilot control. Aisling carries no diesel generator, which is a tremendous savings for weight and diesel consumption. Charging of the 800Ah of 24-volt lithium bank (roughly 19 kWh) is provided by 1,600 watts of SunPower solar on individual Victron MPPT regulators and a dual Integrel system rated at 18kW.  This capacity allows uninterrupted power supply for the four zones of 48-volt variable-speed Frigomar air conditioning, the Spectra Cape Horn Extreme watermaker at 54 litres per hour (with a Z-ion filter!), induction cooktop, the combination microwave/oven fitted new in 2025, both Vitrifrigo drawer units, fridge and freezer, replaced in 2024, and the cavernous cooler (fridge or freezer) under the lower helm seat. She is laid out in the three cabin owner's version configuration. The owner's hull features the master ensuite aft with a huge separate shower complete with a bench seat and natural light. Forward is the master cabin with island berth, all-weather ventilation, and walk-in access to the forepeak with hanging storage. The Spectra watermaker unit and the Samsung washer/dryer are installed into dedicated lockers you can access without moving mattresses or stored items. The two guest cabins are to port, with the guest head kept separate from the shower compartment. On deck, the aft cockpit and transom steps were redone with new decking by Hi Tech Deck in 2026, and the bottom was taken to epoxy barrier coat with two coats of self-polishing antifouling in 2026. In addition to the top-loading cooler under the lower helm seat, there is a fish station with sink and cutting board aft and a transom shower. The carbon fiber cockpit table telescopes down into a day bed (cushions included). A full cockpit enclosure with screens and clear side panels keeps the weather at bay. Aisling is uniquely equipped with a SEA - Ai Oscar 640 Day/Night Collision Avoidance System complete with thermal and color cameras mounted at mast head. Imaging is fed through an onboard processor that not only alerts instantly about objects in the vessel’s path, but identifies the object. ($35,000 upgrade at the time of build) Ground tackle is a Rocna 33 on 50m of 10mm G4 chain behind a 48-volt Maxwell windlass, with a Fortress FX-37 (9.5kgs) as a secondary anchor complete with 3m x 10mm chain and 90m of rope.
