Jason and Lezlie hear plenty of people claiming it is not possible to power a boat on ☀️ and that ⛽️ is absolutely necessary to power a 🛥️. Watch, subscribe and comment as they show it is in fact possible right now not in some sci fi fantasy. 1986 Prout Snowgoose Elite upcycled as a completely off-grid, self-sustainable solar electric liveaboard navigating America’s Great Loop and beyond. Twin @epropulsiontech Navy 6.0 Evo outboards do the heavy work of propelling this boat, as welll as Spirit 1.0 for the dinghy, powered only by 10 375w Longi solar panels (actually only 8 in Season 1). Tech onboard: @Garmin Striker @simrad-yachting Go 9 @VictronEnergyBV MultiPlus II & Smart Solar Controllers @amazon sourced pretty much everything @facebook862 Marketplace took care of the rest @SpaceX Starlink @verizon @Apple is everywhere on the boat. @insta360 @GoPro
Tom Burton (AUS) has won Olympic gold in the Men's One Person Dinghy after a tense pre-start battle with Tonci Stipanović (CRO). Even if Stipanović let gold slip from his grasp, he has still won Croatia's first ever medal in Olympic sailing. Sam Meech (NZL) took bronze. With the Australian being the only sailor who could threaten Croatian gold, Stipanović engaged Burton in an aggressive duel before the start. However the match racing tactic backfired as the Australian turned the tables on his rival, with Stipanović given a 360 degree penalty by the jury for failing to keep clear of Burton. Stipanović was a long way last off the start line and had to play catch-up during the race. Burton was near the back too, and Meech was looking to capitalise on the situation with the New Zealander threatening Australia for the silver. However, Burton moved through the fleet to finish third across the line while Stipanović never recovered from his bad start. Robert Scheidt (BRA) didn't manage to win a record sixth Olympic sailing medal in front his home crowd, but he still gave the spectators on Flamengo Beach something to cheer about as the Brazilian legend sailed across the finish in first place.
