The owners of a sailboat named Into the Mystic attempt to install a salvaged solar arch onto their vessel to expand their solar power capacity.▶ 9:29 After acquiring a used arch from a 30-foot donor boat, the crew transports the structure to their marina to test the fit against the wider stern of Into the Mystic.▶ 9:30 Initial measurements reveal a significant width discrepancy, as the arch measures 84 inches at the top while the boat requires 101.5 inches.▶ 17:32 To resolve this, the host cuts the arch in half at the top and lengthens the legs to accommodate the boat's specific beam and cap rail geometry.▶ 19:11 The crew uses tow straps to hold the modified sections in place during iterative fitment tests at the slip.▶ 21:56 The project requires fabricating custom backing plates for the four mounting points to ensure structural integrity on the cap rail.▶ 23:36 The process confirms that modifying a salvaged arch is a viable alternative to building a new one from scratch.▶ 22:44
