You guys are so technically competent, explaining difficult subjects in an easily digestable manner, providing a much needed service to the cruising community.
Wow from "newbies" in the sailing world, you have both come up to speed on all the systems onboard and how to fix and maintain them. Enjoy the videos and hope you continue to update everything onboard to your satisfaction. I'm amazed at your knowledge on all the electrical systems onboard and how everything works together. ( Love that solar system !!! ) Take care and live it up !!
Felicitaciones como tienen todo organizado Son unos maestros como nos dieron la clase, realmente muy interesante Muchas gracias por compartir sus vidas y nuevamente felicitarlos por la personalidad que tienen Abrazo bien grande desde Uruguay
Thank you so much for making this video! I love these technical behind the scenes videos. I'd love to see more like this. Can't wait for your water maker and other electrical video. I'd also like to see a video on doing chores on the boat, like laundry, cooking, etc. Thanks again!
Well, that was definitely informative. Good job Andrea! I know Alejo has really become very good at maintaining the boat and knowledgeable on the on going repairs. The more videos that I watch of you guys, the more you guys are losing a bit of your accents. Lol. You guys are awesome!! Safe travels. 😋
Great information, Thank You for another great Video. Hope to be getting a similar Cat in the very near future, Will be looking at getting a fully off grid, water maker and solar system etc in the near future and this helps. Looking forward to hearing more about your water maker also.
Excelente, muy bueno. Me gusto mucho, si enseñaron algo hoy, felicitaciones, muy ilustrativo, muy especifico y muy chévere. Cuando se vayan acercando a Cartagena, me avisan para viajar, conocernos y cenamos en su catamaran y compramos la cena en el muelle, jajajaaja, es una promesa, comemos rico. Cada dia me alimentan mi sueño de tener un catamaran y empezar esa aventura. Saludos

The inverter never takes the solar power straight from the panels or MPPT. The MMPT charges the batteries and then the inverter takes the power from the batteries. If you say the power of the battery bank without voltage, you say them in watt-hours ;) Top video trouwens!
Commercial land based panels are up to 600 watts with the multilayer panels still in the labs at the moment though (increases the efficiency of the panels which at the moment is only up to 22%). Your system is set a certain way with a combined serial solar panel configuration. Have your panels been fitted with the bypass resistors for when one panel is in shade. Balance cats configure their systems in a different way as an example with individual solar panels in parallel with a dedicated controller per panel, so if one panel goes into shade or malfunctioned it does not take down the whole solar array system
Hey campeones, Parlay Revival dice que revicen su estructura base. Lo tienen todo, solo hay que asegurarse de eso. Saludos OsoYolo de Antigua Guatemala.
Debieran hacer un video de esta situación de los bulk heads para que todos vean que no todos los modelos tienen problemas. Más así saben si la construcción es buena. Es un tema súper movido en este momento
I'm assuming your anchor windlass and power winches run from the 12V AGM bank as well. Also, I'm going to assume the reason you went with an AC to DC (110/240 -> 12 VDC) converter, instead of the typical DC-DC converter (48->12) is becuase you have the inverter on a lot. THanks for the video guys
You totally missed the most important part. Total consumption at any given moment and/or per day. In other words, how long can you run off of batteries alone without making any concessions of use.
I am a bit surprised about the high watermaker power consumption... 2530W sounds to much for me. Just looked up some datasheets: a 60l/hr unit needs abou 300W. Where does the mismatch come from? I dare you have an 500l/hr unit. Is it a typo or a really inefficient system? Might be worth to check the root cause of this mismatch...
Excellent video guys! Most interesting to an engineer like me. A relative of mine sailed around the world in 1947, His boat had nothing of what yours has! He wrote a book, if you are interested let me know, I will send you a pdf copy (no cost).
Regular A/C systems usually use condensers as form of heat exchanger, usually they have a fan and air moves through it to cool or heat, for boats they use raw sea or lake water to do the heat exchange for the Cooling mode...
@@LivingHakuna Thankyou. Is there is a cooling/heating that has gas in the main unit to help chill the air or warm the air. I think I could be very wrong but i love your boat Thankyou for your reply
Why are you converting AC to DC, very inefficient especially as you already have DC at 48v, you just need a very cheap DC step down transformer from 48v to 12v to both charge your AGMs (Not AMG as in your graphic) and even power your 12v systems directly. I do feel like your system is far more expensive and complicated than it needs to be... If I built out my own system, I could close to match yours (Batteries & BMS cost only) for just 2500 USD for 320 Ah at 48v, I am gonna bet you spent a LOT more than that.
@@jnjentinc Thats "If I was to build out their system", I don't need or want a system like theirs so I wouldn't, I have a 13m monohull, I have 800w of solar and 2x 320Ah 12v LifePo4 cell packs (I built my own packs) and I run a hybrid system with an AGM in parallel which allows me to maximise their particular properties while it handles alternator compatibility and charge profiles of older charging systems. I am not doing anything special; you can buy lifepo4 grade A cells from china, 320Ah 12v packs for 450USD, just have to do the math. Far Less than half the cost of what their big battery packs cost which is a saving of thousands of USD on a system their size.

Hakuna is state of the art!❤️🔥
Yes it is !! 👍🏼👌🏻
Well done, A&A!
Great presentation!!
You know your stuff, for sure!!!
👋 😎 🤙
Thanks Jeff yes we try to understand all our systems and how they work. Thanks for watching
You guys put a lot of work in to this video. You guys sound like pro's now.
I remember when you guys started. 👍🏻
Great job.
Lol yes we have learned a lot this couple of years :) but we still have a lot things to learn
Pros? Haha
I love Andrea😍💓. A women that can get technical as much as a guy is such a turn on.... u go girl🤙🏼

Lol thanks Tony ! Since now we talk in english every single day we are getting better with our accent🙂
I've never seen Alejo talk so much, I think he spoke more in this vide than in all the others together, cool.
lol ..she does the talking, she can talk!

Thanks for watching 🙌🏼😁
tremendo video! gracias por toda la información y las enseñanzas.
Que bueno que te gusto el video !! Nos alegra
Great episode! Good information, well organized and presented.
you gotta love it when Andrea takes control!!! LMAO!!!!
Took me a while to partially understand our electrical setup 😂😅

Thank You Sooo much for the great info on your electrical system. Much Appreciated!! 🌴😊 And Hello from Miami Beach!
Your are very welcome glad you enjoyed it !😊
Add a wind turbine to charge at night or windy, cloudy days
Alejo must be a saint
Lol thanks for watching Nate !
Great information for sure !! Great guys !!!
Thanks Richard
Súper instructivo el video … felicitaciones … que buena clase de baterías 🔋💪🏼🎉

Oh damn.........Aljeo went gray and Andrea had to save him.......You'll be alright brah...
Lol true that !! Thanks for watching
You have about 17.4 kwh of energy on your batteries,, lifepo is 51.2v
Good information.

What is the brand of the salon a/c unit that you said can drop down to only 3000 BTU’s and 300 watts. Does that include the raw water pump?
Most of us are not going to buy aboat. Wejust want to see you sailing.
Hi bill, there will be plenty of sailing ⛵️
Excellent video guys! Most interesting to an engineer like me. A relative of mine sailed around the world in 1947, His boat had nothing of what yours has! He wrote a book, if you are interested let me know, I will send you a pdf copy (no cost).
Hi Luis, yes that would be very interesting we would love to read it :) thanks for watching
@@LivingHakuna sent it to your email account. Hope you like it!
hakuna matata :-)
It means no worries
Cool 😎
What inverter are you using? Me and my father are trying to plug the inverter into our panel box in the boat for 220 volts.
Hi James, we have a sma sunny island 6kw inverter ours is connected to the shore power cable.
Where did you purchase and get your solar and battery systems installed? Grenada?
When are you guys coming to Jamaica?
Hopefully next year!! 🙌🏼
Yayyy!!! I look forward to the episodes😊😚
Love the content
Sailing Lady Africa sent me here :D
Q..Why does the AC need a big water pump.
Is it a air compressor type or a water cooler?
:D

Hello guys yes that is correct Danilo
@@LivingHakuna Thankyou. Is there is a cooling/heating that has gas in the main unit to help chill the air or warm the air.
I think I could be very wrong but i love your boat
Thankyou for your reply
Do you have the old battery? I will buy it from you?
Yes we do, send me an offer hello@livinghakuna.com
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Michael!
How many watts is your inverter?
Hi Christopher, our inverter is 6k watts
🇵🇱🙋🌞⛵
Way too many electrical appliances.☝️
Yes 🙂
