Have you maxed out the amount of solar you can have onboard? I'm on an electric only 30 foot catamaran, but with 3200W of solar I gain 35 nautical miles a day at 5 knots. In fact most days I motor purely on solar and arrive at my next anchorage with a full battery. I almost never use my sails 😂

I understand why in some panels it is wise to remove the core and to epoxy in a twisted fiberglass twine. But why roll twine yourself, normal rope would be plenty strong with epoxy? And actual square fiberglass rope is redily available also? Is it cheaper this way?
@SailingSVLynx5 күн бұрын
( I replied to this, but for some reason KZbin isn't showing the reply, at least to me, so I'll try again). The plans call for us to roll wet epoxy into these rolls, and we don't know that rope would be as strong or could be sure that the epoxy was saturated to the center of the rope. So, we follow the plans.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Great progress! The sink looks great and I like the farmhouse style but it extends out a fair bit from the counter. Maybe the extension of the countertop can be shaped a bit to 'soften those outward extending corners & reduce it from being a 'hip banger' - ? Also - ensure your faucets can adjust & won't require a handle that extend back too far back in case they are too close to the back wall in case it interferes with the swivel back. Stay safe & protect your back - limit reaching out when lifting blocks.
@SailingSVLynx5 күн бұрын
The 'wall' to the back of the sink is a long way back, more than 2 feet, (61 cm). It is the roof over the hallway, so the sink can't project down into it because of that, but above, there is tons of room. Happy holidays to you as well!

Not that I know of, and we do have three thicknesses of foam panels. The problem with any kind of rope is soaking the epoxy to the center, which you get from rolling epoxy.

I don't fully understand, but it turns out that the electrical conductors will be near the water pipes, this should be avoided because under the influence of voltage you will have a mega-powerful osmosis effect, electrolysis will increase it many times and no insulating material can withstand this, especially epoxy resin, I have encountered such a phenomenon many times, in such cases even air humidity is enough to cause trouble, so be careful, by profession I am a radio engineer with many years of experience...

@@SailingSVLynx Like Brian, I have experience from 16 years to today, 40 years of experience in the development of radio equipment and have studied the insulating properties of various materials from which radio components are made, hence my comment. I have cases when an electromagnetic coil filled with epoxy resin corrodes due to high humidity in the room only through the air. Electrolysis destroys any valence bonds and enhances the effect of osmosis at minimal currents only in the presence of voltage. All materials have the ability to absorb micro doses of water, both ceramics and polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. When there is a constant voltage, this effect is amplified. In the case of alternating voltage, current can pass through parasitic capacitance, for example, two wires, a wire, a generator housing, a wire and water, etc. Not everything we see is an electrical circuit, this is what we are talking about, so please be as careful as possible. Pay attention to the case with the 44 and the hybrid engine ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6SafWioe7NnhqM ), as a result, the stainless anchor chain and rigging fasteners began to corrode in them, etc....good luck

@@ЄвгенОлещук Though we appreciate your worry about our boat, the Wynns Video you are referencing wasn't a problem with water lines being near a conduit. They had stray current issues from carbon fiber portions of their boat, salt water, and two types of metals in that salt water turning their boat into a battery. A little research into Pex and conduits shows that they only suggest a 1" separation between Pex and the conduit. Nor are we putting electromagnetic coils in these locations.

@@nando7795 I must make a remark to you, just the fields are proportional to the voltage and the current is proportional to the resistance and voltage, only magnetic fields are proportional to the current. Regarding osmosis, the capillary effect destroys the epoxy resin, in microcracks due to the capillary force which sometimes creates a pressure of 50 atmospheres, water entering the cavity destroys the resin. What I was talking about is that in the presence of voltage, the water in the crack penetrates deeper and electrolysis begins, and this in turn destroys any structure that I had the experience of observing in practice. By the way, in genetic engineering, genes are infused into cells using a voltage pulse between electrodes between which there is a membrane with holes the size of gene molecules, that is, they shoot only genes, they break through the cell membrane and get into the cell, etc. Regarding currents, they can melt insulation, but that's another topic.

Something that concerns me is how you have done the grey water drains , being that i live in a travel trailer, I have had to clean the drain pipes every couple years as they get coated with soap tooth paste hair food and most of all oil from washing dishes turns into basicly blocks of soap that eventually completely block the pipe . I think you have used water 90s on your drains , My travel trailer has minimum 1 1/4 drains with long run abs 90s for snaking and i still have problems . I know you have closed up some areas but this will be a problem . There are 2 types of abs fittings , regular and long run , long run are the only ones a drain snake will pass.
