Day 17 of our Christmas calendar dives into something BIG: our new electrical system! ?? This year, we upgraded to a setup that lets us live off-grid for months at a time. Here's what powers Vela: ? 800Ah lithium batteries feeding our Lynx distribution panel. ?? Powers essentials like the 12V DC system, electric winch, anchor windlass, and oil heater. ? MPPT solar charger harnessing energy from the sun. ? 3kW inverter/charger providing AC power wherever we are. ? Future-ready: Plans to add a new engine generator for even more charging efficiency. ?? Fischer Panda genset (8kW) for backup AC power when needed. This system gives us the freedom to run big gadgets like a watermaker, induction cooktop, and maybe even a washing machine (coming soon in the new year!). Check out our animation to see how everything works together! ? Got questions about living off-grid or boat electrical systems? Drop them in the comments! ? ? Join us tomorrow for another peek into life aboard Vela! ?

?? At Sea! https://youtu.be/ERZZe8F01MY The bowline is the most useful know in the world, and sometimes you may not have both hands free to use tie it - so you should learn to tie it with one hand. With a little practice, it tying the bowling know becomes second nature. #shorts #sailing #knots https://youtube.com/shorts/S2S90jDKwHY One Handed Bowline
