How To Install PIVOTING SOLAR On A Sailboat - Turning Lifelines Into Solar Mounted Railings!
Ahoy! With more power demands aboard Sea Dream of Clyde, it is time to up our solar game! In this episode, we convert our cockpit lifelines into stainless steel railings, then install two 100 watt Renogy solar panels. We use pivoting clamps that allow us to rotate these new panels by over 180 degrees to maximize our solar input.

Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde
Here you will find videos of a young(ish) folks sailing aboard a 1979 Westerly Discus sailboat around the BC Coast and beyond. I focus on making videos centered around the sailing aspects of my trips, showing folks around the nice places where I anchor, plus occasional bits of natural history, as well as local knowledge I have picked up over the years. No cheesy clickbait, commericalizition, or hyped-up/made-up drama here... Just sailing around the lovely west coast.
