Installing our SILENTWIND PRO and CROSSING BISCAY Preparation - EP 05 - Sailing Beaver

#silentwind #sailing #beneteau #sailingbeaver A short film of installing our new Silentwind Pro before departing across Bay of Biscay. Up until this point we have had little in the way of power generation onboard, so before crossing Biscay we thought it necessary to have some solar and wind power to allow more use of the Autopilot and charge up the batteries. Enjoy! A couple from Australia and Norway who set sails from Stavanger, Norway on a Beneteau Oceanis 40 in late 2018 to explore the world by sailboat. (Yup, another sailing couple doing the standard route and documenting it on film.) Please Subscribe to help support the channel.
