68. 100% Electric Sailboat (First Open Water Test) + Navpod Install | Learning the Lines

Not only are we in the water, but WE’RE SAILING!!! In this vlog we finish up a couple projects and start making our way out of the canal and into Charlotte Harbor.

We installed a brand new Electric Yacht motor and twelve Lithium Battleborn batteries not long ago, so this passage is the first real open water test of all of the new systems. We also have 600W of Renogy solar panels that are new. It’s just one big shakedown as we’re learning how everything will work in the real world out on the water. So far we’re quite happy with how the motor, batteries and panels are performing.

We’re stoked to have a boat that is as close to “off-the-grid” as it can get. We don’t have to carry any type of fuel onboard. We never need to fill a diesel, propane, or gasoline tank, and to us that’s quite liberating.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20’s, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we’re in our 30’s. We’re not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. For this reason our channel is very DIY focused, with the goal to show anyone watching that a lot is possible if you’re not afraid to make some mistakes along the way.
