Paragon anchors on the northern side of the Helford River in Cornwall, England, in 14 feet of water at low tide with 75 feet of chain out — just over 5:1 scope — choosing a position in the lee of the land for forecast northerly winds.▶ 1:36 The snubber is worn and needs replacing with a new spliced line.▶ 2:44 The main focus is the boat's adjustable rail-mounted solar setup: five 130-watt panels are in active use, two on the side rails and three permanently mounted on the hard top, with eight more stowed flat in the dinghy as reserve.▶ 8:03 The rail panels pivot on a bolt-and-knob fixture, letting Drake reorient them toward the sun throughout the day; he notes that manually tracking the sun swung the battery monitor from negative 10 amps to positive 5 amps.▶ 6:43 Five-gallon jugs protect the forward rail panel from wave wash in heavy weather.▶ 7:15 A chipped tooth requires a trip to Falmouth in two days, timed around a favorable weather window.▶ 10:31 The evening ends with burgers cooked on a BioLite grill using driftwood, though Paragon sits in a rolly spot compared to boats anchored closer to shore.▶ 10:03 Manually angling adjustable panels toward the sun produces a measurable and immediate gain in charge current over fixed flat-mounted panels.
