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, the empowerment of my sailboat Karl continues. After installing 3×100 amp/h Dakota Lithium batteries and two Xantrex inverters, I am now mounting my new renwable energy power source: 4x 100W Xantrex solar panels.
With this set up, I won`t have to use my diesel engine ever again for charging my batteries. Well, let`s better not say never, but hopefully hardly ever ;). Cheers to living 100% of renewable energy from now on!
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
