During the last episode, we let Blandine and Max manage their electricity problems. Indeed, the autonomy in energy on a sailboat remains the key of the voyage. But how can we produce energy when we have small means?
You have to find the B plans, make your head work and spit in your hands. After an electrical assessment supported by Seatronic, the most suitable solution was the installation of solar panels.
But how to install these square meters horizontally on a sailboat with old shapes and a very small ass? On a portico of course! But where can you find a suitable gantry crane at a responsible price?
It is here that Max, a handyman but not a welder, starts the design, the drawing, the realization and the construction of a splendid portico. It must be made of steel but also protected, high enough but transportable by car, easy to build but solid A squaring of the circle where will and ingenuity pay off.
