Greeting from Melbourne. Thank you for sharing the video. I'm building Trika as well and use your video to lookup some ideas. Really enjoy the job you have done. Stay safe.

Awesome set up! Thanks for sharing!

very nice, thx for sharing :-)

You're dropping your voltage considerably having ropes across your solar panel. Other than that, that thing looks fun!

[@caselli-daniel]

Thanks Charles. I know that. This solar panel is there only when I sail. Otherwise, when a stay at shore the panel is placed in a normal place, without these shotcords.

What kind of speed do you reach with the motor only?

[@caselli-daniel]

Hi, in flat water, non front wind, and in "normal" mode, 4 to 5knt. With maximum power about 8knt, but only 1/2 hour of autonomy.

@@caselli-daniel thanks a lot for the info. That sounds very good - low resistance. I am planning a small DIY solar tri with ~700W panels on board and a bit more battery capacity and your numbers make the concept sound fairly viable.
