Hey, my name is Nike and I bought an aluminum 37 foot sailboat in Panama in 2013 that I named KARL. I spent a good year refitting it, mostly by myself and with the help of awesome friends, and then (mostly) solo sailed my sailboat around the western Caribbean.
In 2016, I crossed the Panama Canal, had a major engine break down, a near sinking experience and a serious foot injury which got me stuck along the Pacific coast of Central and South America.
In this Episode, I change my house batteries from 2x 200amp/h AGM to 3x 100amp/h Dakota Lithium Batteries. In the Video, I explain how I calculated my daily energy consumption and how I set up my whole electrical system on my 37 foot sailboat.
I split the installation of my new power system on my sailboat Karl in three parts. This is the first part in which I install my new Lithium batteries. The second part will deal with the installation of my two new Xantrex inverters and battery monitor and part three will show the installation of my four new xantrex solar panels (each 100W)
So stay tuned for more electrical fun on Karl.
Thank you, Dakota Lithium and Xantrex, for providing this awesome empowerment pack for my sailboat Karl. It’s been a total game changer!
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

Hi, my name is Nike. With my videos I would like to inspire others to grab hold of their dreams and make them reality. I have always been drawn to the ocean and fascinated by the humbling experience of living close to nature. I had a faint idea that I was made for another lofe than the one that the people around me expected me to live. One day, I dared to follow this instinct and bought a neglected sailboat in Panama that I named KARL. My life turned into a wild rollercoaster of challenges that pushed me way beyond my comfort zone and moments of unknown bliss and inner peace. Over the past years, I had to learn many new skills and tunred my old silboat into a once again sea worthy vessel. My floating home enables me to live off grid in remote places, powered by the sun and moved by the wind. Join me on my jounrey exploring life`s options in the persuit of happiness and purpose.
