About Me:

BENERIKSEN is just me, Ben Eriksen. I liveaboard my 28' sailboat. I enjoy a roving lifestyle, with work I can do wherever I go.

Before I went out on my own, I worked for a fantastic little design firm called Bigbuzz, in New York. Prior to that, where I got my start in the biz, I worked at a print shop called Searles Graphics.

Besides designing and coding, I also enjoy sailing (of course), cycling, running, playing drums, listening to prog-rock and studying french.

 

 

About The Power Generation Aboard Elizabeth:

The majority of the power aboard my small boat comes from either solar or wind power. I have two 65 watt solar panel providing about 8 amps on a bright sunny day. I have one small wind turbine, which when spinning in 10 knots (12mph) of breeze also puts out about 4 amps. The combination of these two is enough to run my computer and my refrigeration - the two primary power draws. Somedays are windless and cloudy. Those days are great excuses to head to the coffee shop for a day of work, a latté, and a blueberry scone.
