Fantastic guys, as we sit here in Noosa Australia 🇦🇺 and enjoy your travels, thank for the excellent filming, great to see a lot of different cultures and areas that the other Sailing channels don’t cover, Sven did a wonderful job on the solar panels( and you too) Take care and be safe 😊

Well done! 👍🏼

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks!!

[@Eric-mo8mm]

Wow 2000wp of energy. Nice setup to extend your stay at anchor.

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks! Works perfectly in anchorages, no need for an extra generator 🙌

[@thierrycopros8496]

Great solar installation!

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks Thierry!!

[@latitudeash]

Was it Christmas? You got a lot of presents 🎁 solar, chargers, battery and new solar frame. Wow, your family was really good and did not do anything naughty. 🤣😂🤣

[@SailingNohma]

Yes it was Christmas 😂😇

[@harryj7341]

I live in Gibraltar, just on the Spanish side of the runway, I can actually see the roof of my house at 11:59 lol

[@SailingNohma]

oh really? Haha that’s amazing 😄 Thanks for watching our video!

[@mikeandmar9046]

Hey I didn’t realize you guys had a dog!? Thanks for another awesome informative episode!

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks!! We used to have a dog... unfortunately she was ill and died just before we crossed the ocean. We miss her 😥

[@brianmardon7123]

Great editing especially the informative write up prior to the high quality Vid.

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks a lot Brian!!

[@SnowHarp]

I am impressed with the solar panels and the framework - did you have to install power outlets round the boat or were they there already ? Gibraltar is a good place to visit.

[@SailingNohma]

Thank you!! On a Lagoon there are plenty outlets installed around the boat.

[@jeroenvanbenten1470]

Hi Nohma! First of all, very cool that 46 of yours! My girlfriend and I have been visiting multiple boatshows and we want to buy the 46 as well. You made me realize that we need a hardtop on the flybridge aswell, looks very cozy! What I am curious about, could you please tell me your thinking process deciding this solarsetup? It looks really sturdy and powerful :)! Groetjes, Jeroen

[@SailingNohma]

@Jeroen van Benten Wat een leuke vooruitzichten!! Voor de metalen constructie van de zonnepanelen hebben we het voorbeeld gevolgd van een vriend. We zijn heel tevreden met deze constructie, ze voorziet extra schaduw voor de dinghy en het dek achteraan en de palen zijn een handige hulp bij het in en uit de dinghy stappen. Voor de zonnepanelen hebben we gekozen voor de bifacial panelen omdat deze zorgen voor meer opbrengst op een kleinere oppervlakte. We kwamen er achteraf achter dat als we de afmetingen een beetje hadden aangepast dat we 6 panelen hadden kunnen leggen in de andere richting. Maar het is ook perfect doenbaar met de 5 panelen die we nu hebben, we hebben altijd voldoende stroom en hebben geen extra generator nodig. Alvast veel plezier met het uitkijken naar jullie nieuwe boot en als je nog vragen hebt voor ons kan je mailen naar [e-mail] Misschien komen we elkaar dan in de toekomst nog wel ergens tegen.

[@aniabrandt7]

Wow glad u all ok after this storm. I heard recently someone's boat was stricken by lightning

[@SailingNohma]

We were very happy when it was over. Hope we never get struck by lightning, sounds very scary.

[@brettharrison2237]

If you find yourself in an area of heavy lightning, put your phones, iPads etc in your oven (cold, obviously). It will act as a Faraday Cage. Turn as many, if not all of your boat electrics off and hope you don’t get struck.

[@Mr.Alia63]

Hi amazing journey looking forward for the next video, are going to continue later to the east for the Mediterranean to France Italy and Greece or west to the Atlantic

[@SailingNohma]

Meanwhile we have already crossed the Atlantic and we are in Martinique now. Thank you for watching!!

[@Mr.Alia63]

Sailing NOHMA 😳when did this happen i thought you are in Gibraltar, safe journeys all the best

[@SailingNohma]

Hahaaa I know, sorry 😅 we’re running a bit behind with our videos

[@Mr.Alia63]

@@SailingNohma that’s alright I thought you were going to spend the summer in the Mediterranean and then cross the Atlantic, all the best safe journeys

[@SailingNohma]

Thank you!! Can’t wait to share the videos of Martinique, it’s so beautiful here 😁

[@berikco]

nice solar arch, you plan on making a video about the solar and battery setup?

[@SailingNohma]

We’ll try to make an extra video with some more details about the setup later. Thanks for watching!

[@daveholley2156]

I was going to make a comment but I don't comment to channels that don't reply ! Damnit I did again ✌️💜🎸

[@SailingNohma]

Well it’s your lucky day Dave, you found another channel that does reply! 😄 I can understand why some channels don’t reply though, so many messages and emails can become overwhelming. Thanks for watching! And for leaving a comment!!

[@saschazegerman]

I do like this video. But your dog does not seem to get off board and looks really skinny! I hope that impression is wrong. Thanks for showing Gibraltar!

[@SailingNohma]

Hi Sascha. Our dog was very skinny indeed, unfortunately she was ill and she passed away some weeks ago. If you have seen some of our previous videos you might have seen how she loved going to the beach with us. Thanks for watching!!

[@saschazegerman]

@@SailingNohma thanks for the info, I am sorry to hear that! Looking forward to your next videos and good luck with your sailing adventures.

[@michaelanderson1788]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@feshfeshsailing]

Mons Calpe? I did not know that one. I am curious to know whether he also explained the origin of the name Gibraltar?

[@SailingNohma]

Neither did I, the tour with Michael was very educational. About the name he told us that it started with 2 muslim brothers Tarik and Tarif. Gibraltar is the Spanish derivation of ‘mountain of Tarik’ in Arabic and the Spanish city Tarifa, further down the coast, was named after his brother Tarif. Thanks for watching!!

[@feshfeshsailing]

@@SailingNohma Sailed by Tarifa 4 times before, without ever stopping there on account it is always too windy, and I never wondered where the name came from.

[@SailingNohma]

Yes wow, it’s indeed always very windy there.

[@arazcaliph9067]

I guess its early/ late Christmas present🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SailingNohma]

Running behind with the videos 😅 It was Christmas when we were there 😁

Hi there! Thanks for watching!

[@deblacklad]

why is everyone on the fly deck. we haven't seen the interior of the boat

[@SailingNohma]

We’ll try to do a boat tour asap. Thanks for watching!!

[@michaelsteel688]

YOu must have spent thousands on that solar setup. All you needed was an Efoy fuel cell for under $2k and saved you thousands and had power 100% of the time.

[@SailingNohma]

Never heard of Efoy fuel cells before. I have no idea if they could provide us with enough power and we should have to fill them up with methanol, which is highly flammable. We’re very happy with our solar panels, they’re worth the money. Thanks for watching!!

[@michaelsteel688]

@@SailingNohma They have various sizes that can manage any boat size, it's not flammable Look at their website. it's just regular alcohol you can get just about anywhere. I use this on my 36ft boat and works perfectly with no need for solar cluttering up my boat. www.my-efoy.com/efoy-brennstoffzellen/

[@SailingNohma]

We’ll keep it in mind if we ever have to replace te solar panels 😁

Looking forward to seeing the lithium install video…

[@beardies]

Is there a good reason you don't use a perfectly good cabin to sleep and live in. Seems like a waste of of very nice boat. Especially in bad weather.

[@SailingNohma]

Our boat has so many great spots that we can choose to sleep wherever we feel like. So that’s like the opposite of a waste 😃 When we just started sailing our kids liked us to all be close together while underway, especially in bad weather. Are those good enough reasons? Thanks for watching our video!!

[@beardies]

@@SailingNohma great answer. Kids come first.

[@rogeliodegino1390]

why the dog are so skinny

[@SailingNohma]

She was ill and is no longer with us, we miss her very much.

[@stephens340]

Your dog looks malnourished it's hip bones look like they're about to poke through his skin...

[@SailingNohma]

Of course our dog was not malnourished! She was ill and sadly passed away a few months ago. We loved her very much!!
