Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

To increase solar capacity on Sea Dream of Clyde, the crew installed two additional 100-watt Renogy panels on the cockpit lifelines, bringing the total system to 400 watts.1:04 The installation involved removing sections of the stainless steel lifelines and replacing them with custom-cut stainless steel tubing to serve as a mounting rail.0:23 To prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminum stanchions and stainless steel fittings, the crew applied epoxy to the connections.2:57 They secured the panels using pivoting clamps sourced from West Marine, allowing the arrays to rotate 180 degrees for optimal sun exposure while at anchor.5:31 The crew routed the wiring through the aft cockpit combing to a charge controller, splicing the new panels in parallel with the existing system.3:45 This upgrade supports increased power demands, including Starlink and a freezer, while maintaining lead-acid battery levels above 70 percent.6:18 The crew plans to eventually replace the remaining stainless steel lifelines with Dyneema.2:00
