blue-pearl - Vela Nautica

Hi Guys,

NOW there is a new extended version of the Video!

at this time we are in hype development of an sternarch concept that does not mutulate Vela Nautica.

The piont is to mount Solarpannels and a Silentwind windgenerator on our stern to charge the upcoming lithium batteries with green energy and reduce our genereatortimes drastically.

Therefore it need exact measurments and transfer of these to our engineer where the sternarch will be produced and shipped to finally mount it on board.

This Video has bad Audio because there is a steelboat close to us that get its underwatership done and they use a pneumatic hammer since weeks to remove all residuals from their hull. Additional first part of this Video is in german dialect sorry for that.

please SUBSCRIBE , LIKE and SHARE, don´t miss the following improvements on our Vela Nautica.

This travel is made possible by our patreons! Thanks to all of you.
