I love this feature for two reasons; first, it is a great example of how responsive Vision is to customer feedback that can make the boat better, and second, because I had at least a little input in its creation! In a nutshell, they help prevent the running rigging from getting snagged on the rigid solar panel corners. Flexible panels wouldn't have this problem to begin with, but they are nowhere near as efficient, they get hot and they don't last as long. We were very happy to be getting rigid solar panels, but were less than thrilled about having to be super vigilant to prevent a damaged sheet or panel. I believe these clips will fully remove this concern; thanks Grant (Vision Engineer)! Want more?

I am back on KARL since March 2015 and just accomplished my first two overnight solo sail from San Blas to Cartagena with my good old Karl. Just had to share this with you shortly, cause I am super excited about it :). The second season will start around June / July 2015 with new stories to tell. If you want to know what's happening before that, you can check www.facebook.com/whitespotpirates for real time updates! If you enjoy watching my documentary and therefore want to contribute a little bit for internet costs / video equipment, then you can do so here: https://www.patreon.com/whitespotpirates. Thank you for your support!
