Last weekend we had some interesting PHRF racing off of Atlantic City and I met

There were 5 C&Cs in the 12 boat non spin division taking 1st and 3

It is a shunt - essentially a big resistor (low value, high current
carrying capacity). The ammeter measures the voltage drop across the
shunt and converts that to amps flowing through it (amps =
volts/resistance).

I read Wanderer, but don't recall the coal in it. I'll have to read the other.
Curious because some boats still use coal heaters. The advantage is that only
CO2 given off and not water vapor, thus keeping cabin dryer. Although is
should be vented, not always a perfect world.
