Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the catamaran Supernova fabricates a custom sun shade for their forward trampolines while anchored in the shallow, clear waters of the Swimming Pools in the San Blas Islands.0:04 To avoid shading their solar panels, they design a low-profile, tent-like cover using $50 of material purchased in Panama.0:35 The design features a center rope to create a peak, a slit to accommodate the jib, and reinforced corner patches with lines tied to the boat's rigging.3:51 The crew uses a sewing machine to join two four-meter fabric panels and reinforce the attachment points.6:24 During the project, they coordinate with friends arriving from Colombia, providing guidance on shallow-water navigation and anchoring to avoid hazards like Crocodile Island.17:15 The crew also demonstrates a recipe for homemade hummus using soaked chickpeas, olive oil, and chili flakes.9:14 The project successfully expands their usable deck space, providing shade for daytime work and relaxation without interfering with the vessel's electrical charging system.25:51
