Qué cubre este vídeo

The Yacht Rigger team performs a comprehensive refit on a 2013 Fountaine Pajot Summerland 40 power catamaran, focusing on a full Victron lithium battery conversion and custom electrical system upgrades.1:05 The project includes installing six 24-volt 200-amp-hour lithium batteries, a 48-volt 10,000-watt inverter, and a DC generator.2:07 Technicians construct a custom four-frame stainless steel arch to support four 400-watt Hyundai bifacial solar panels, designed to shade the aft deck and dinghy while maintaining a pergola-like aesthetic.1:21 The team also replaces an existing propane stove with an induction cooktop, requiring countertop modifications and custom HDPE or Starboard inserts to ensure proper ventilation and aesthetics.8:12 Additional upgrades include a Rainman watermaker, FLIR night-vision camera, and an electric head conversion.3:30 The installation process involves pre-building electrical distribution systems on expanded PVC boards in the shop to streamline the boat-side integration.11:30 The team balances structural height requirements for the solar arch with sightline visibility from the cockpit, ultimately adjusting the frame height to accommodate the owner's stature while preserving the view.13:13
