Huge boat UPGRADE: Our concept for SELF-SUFFICIENCY | 990 Ah LITHIUM on our sailboat | EP25

Hi from 𝗛𝐈, we are PAT and FRANKIE! We are living full-time on our sailing boat 𝗛𝐈 and sail around the world ⛵

Experience the ultimate transformation as we revolutionize our energy system aboard our vessel for self-sufficiency on the open water. Say goodbye to outdated diesel generators and aging batteries as we get ready for the future with a brand new lithium system from Victron Energy, boasting a whopping 990Ah capacity. With the addition of solar panels and a hydrogenerator we use the power of the sun and the sea to provide for ourselves on our adventures.
Plus, with our bow thruster system now separated from the service system, we've achieved more security and more efficiency. Join us for an episode of boat work and fun in-between!
