Laura, you are definitely in your element and you are passing your knowledge to young people who like you enjoy sailing. Googled you very recently and found out you are a mother now and I think I caught a glimpse of your little boy in this episode. I have a feeling you're a great mom.
Excellent presentation! Victron can be proud of you. Victron is a company that stands by its products. Just heard from my neighbor, his faulty 3K inverter/charger he bought 3 years ago, but only installed recently, was replaced under full warranty.
Indrukwekkende installatie, maar duidelijk uitgelegd! Wat een systeem. Tot en met de boegschroef aan toe (ik ga ervan uit dat je die zelden gebruikt en had hem dus niet met accu voeding verwacht). Dank voor de tour!
Im a Laura and Victron fan how convenient 😎. For me victron has proven their quality and durability. All bleu as Laura her overall 😀 I the setup is really nice and professional. Splendid Thanks for sharing
Very nice set up Laura, here's hoping you are able to get out sailing lots, and with luck this pandemic thing will soon be over. Looking forward to seeing more of Guppie and you with new crew showing young people a more enjoyable way of life.
Thank you for making this video. Your story is fascinating and beautiful, and I love the thought that it was possible to circumnavigate our blue planet! ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤
I have been keeping up with you since the hearings on whether you could sail by yourself. I loved your electrical marina avoidance system. You could live on the hook, or stay in Bluewater indefinitely. Good video.
What a fantastic setup. Boy, I hope you have someone on board who can work on this system out at sea if something goes wrong. Apart from the fact that it has been very professionally installed and appears electrically very sound and should last for a long time, as we all know, Murphies Law and saltwater/air have a way of causing even the best system to develop faults. Laura, I know you have worked very hard with this and I hope that your program and S/V Guppy (No 2) last for a long time. Let's hope out of the sad ending to Guppy No 1, that No 2 will have a long and illustrious career roaming the globe teaching youngens how to sail. Thank you once again for the video!
she seems to have a good understanding of the components, so at least she can troubleshoot... but yeah if one of those 'black boxes' fails.. it might get hairy..
I installed most of the system myself so yes I do have a fairly good understanding of what's going on and how to fix it :) but I absolutely agree that the more systems there are on a boat the more stuff can break or fail. The key is being able to deal with that by either fixing it or knowing how to live and continue without it ;)
Thanks Toby :) The numbers on the cans tell us which cans we can open in certain weeks of our voyage. ( otherwise all the yummy things get eaten right away and nothing is left towards the end ;)
Hello Laura I am really interested in sailing around the world soon but I need to know what to be looking for in a sail boat and or which boat/ which make of a boat should I be looking at.
uff you are such a cool girl ::: I really like how your life evolved ...at least the part I can see on these videos ...i wish you all the luck on future voyages and thank you for the INSpiration
Everything on this boat is very well grounded to thick plates on the hull - chainplates, masts ( with extra thick cable) and thru holes. It's not a complete guarantee but what in life is ;)
@@MarcelLENORMAND yes I have, and these are nothing like that! If you want to have a look on youtube for lifepo4 in fire style videos. Most fores and faults are down to wire sizing, lack of fuses, or just really don't know what they are doing and feel uneasy asking questions publicly I think! That's why when someone ask's for guidance I try me best to help :)
Lithium battery don't mix with water- even days after exposure to water they can catch on huge fire, super hard to even extinguish. check youtube and be careful with any moisture buildup and stuff like that
👍 this seems the most popular brand
Nice to see, that you're supported by that company. Your foundation is a very precious project.

Awesome electrics & your knowledge is very impressive - great to see your young apprentice soaking it all in too !

I'm glad you understand all that
I grasped a bit of it

Awesome setup, thanks for taking us along.
excellent explained and great information! thanks!!!!

Beautiful set up. I use Victron too... It's the best with out a doubt...
in school i had to write a report about you!
Thanks for the cool tour!

Amazing how much cabling is going on in Guppy..Well explained Laura…
great video Lautje
Excelente documentário. Daqui, do extremo sul do Brasil.

@@lauradekkerworldsailing Well, if you installed it, then you are the one to work on it. No one will understand it as much as you will/do. Well done!
Thanjs that was really helpful and showcases why victron are top of the game!
What are the numbers on the cans for? (Under the couch)
Stay safe!
Thanks Toby :) The numbers on the cans tell us which cans we can open in certain weeks of our voyage. ( otherwise all the yummy things get eaten right away and nothing is left towards the end ;)
Very interesting. I am a retired electrical engineer.
Neem je ons ook een keer mee op een rondje rond alle navigatie systemen, eventueel aan de hand van een reisvoorbereiding? Lijkt me erg leuk!

great video! love to see Guppy's systems. In addition to the solar is there wind and/or prop regen?
For now only solar :)

What about lightning protection? (:

Very impressive!
Not sure how I’d feel sleeping on top of that lot!!
Lifepo4 is perfectly safe chemistry, lead acid would be worse as it puts off gas when charging and well its full of acid haha 😄
My concern would be if something fails. Have you seen LiPo batteries go? :/
@@MarcelLENORMAND yes I have, and these are nothing like that! If you want to have a look on youtube for lifepo4 in fire style videos.
