Qué cubre este vídeo

A Leopard 50 catamaran undergoes a comprehensive refit to transition from a factory-standard configuration to an off-grid, high-capacity cruising vessel. The project centers on installing a 48-volt electrical system featuring 600 amp-hours of lithium battery storage, supported by 10 solar panels and dual 160-amp 48-volt alternators, eliminating the need for a traditional diesel generator.3:26 Climate control upgrades include a computerized VRV chiller system that uses chilled coolant to manage individual air handlers throughout the boat.3:49 The galley conversion replaces propane appliances with an induction cooktop and electric oven, while the utility room receives a dedicated refrigerator and a 40-gallon-per-hour Seawater Pro watermaker.5:11 Structural and interior modifications involve custom battery rack fabrication, cabinetry adjustments to accommodate new appliances, and the relocation of navigation electronics, including a 12- or 14-inch plotter and a Vesper Cortex VHF/AIS unit, to the nav desk.21:27 The refit also includes installing underwater lights and Gori folding propellers, with the boat remaining in the water for these external tasks.21:52
