Jakob Lang installs a Starlink Mini on his sailboat Wolf in Tenerife during final preparations for an Atlantic crossing to South America.▶ 0:27 He chose the Starlink Mini over other Starlink models for three reasons: lower cost, smaller size, and a power draw of 25–37 watts versus roughly 100 watts for larger dishes.▶ 1:56 Critically, the Mini runs directly off the boat's 12V system without an inverter, using a 12V DC power supply.▶ 2:00 Lang mounts the dish on the companionway in front of the spray hood — his original stern location was ruled out by the radar, solar panels, and life raft already occupying that space.▶ 3:07 A Dextrulet fitting creates a watertight cable passage through the deck; wiring runs to a new 12V outlet tied into the main fuse box under the chart table.▶ 3:29 The Starlink app shows the boom causes an obstruction warning, but in practice Lang streams 4K video and downloads large files without interruption at speeds up to 315 Mbits/second.▶ 5:09 He notes full reliability matters most at anchor or in a marina for video editing; underway, he needs only enough bandwidth for GRIB file downloads, video calls, and social media uploads.▶ 6:07 The transcript also covers a visit to the Uruguayan Navy training schooner Capitán Miranda, berthed in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.▶ 8:09
