Mate they are hinged 🤙 so we can get access the float hatches which are underneath them. We’ve been finding that we have ample solar though and really don’t need to angle them. Have seen the bifacial and they look cool up to 30% extra production!

@@TrimaranSpirit solar has been a really good investment for me on the house. Putting bifacials on tilt frames to take advantage of a long solar day I have to the west in summer, back of the panel will pick up the morning light. In running an EV now which has been really good as not one cent spent on fuel the 1200km I've put on it. Gives a similar feeling when your putting down miles with a nice wind and you say to yourself this shits for free lol. Would be good to catch up when in Aus.

It's Jason meyer from this triplex account

Cheers 🍻

Nice Arie glad you enjoyed it mate.

Not wrong etched in our minds forever 🙏

So true like having our own force field it’s been a hard place to leave so peaceful, calm and quiet.

Mother Nature at her best!

Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed being there 😁

Sure is ❤️

She’s the source of all that we need in life, we just need to slow down and listen ❤️

The sounds of nature bringing us all into the moment.

You are so welcome! 🙏

Sure is 👍

could do some Slow TV

Thanks I’ll make the next one a bit longer 😁

We all need more times like this ! It’s short yes , but that makes me just want to leave the rat race earlier. No matter what.

Us too it’s just one big daily Wooooow 😁

Thanks 🙏 it’s definitely hot out here but that’s why we’re here we can’t stand the cold and rather be sweating than shivering 😁

Yeah some of the hongs around Phang Na are truly spectacular! Would have been an even cooler place back in the 90’s!!

Yep 😁🤙

Thanks 🙏 yes we were actually near them a few days ago crazy looking boat would love to experience her sailing at sea first hand as it looks pretty wild!

Thank you 🙏

Definitely blessed and it’s the only way to live the here and now 😁

Thanks 🙏

Yeah we’ve implemented the same system for the bridle attachment on Spirit XL and it’s so cool and so easy to use and setup.

@@TrimaranSpirit I like that it combines length marking and an easy to use soft shackle at the same time. The relatively short radii of the chain and hook may be a bit harder on the dyneema, but it's relatively easy to inspect when deployed and retrieved.

Thanks we’ve just been near these guys and she’s definitely a cool looking boat but I’d love to experience it firsthand as that’s the only way to know how well something works or doesn’t 😁

@@TrimaranSpirit Agree you'd need to sail her to know, but it's good to be aware of her. I don't know if the video is recent or not, but apparently they were winding down their sailing season in French Polynesia, so perhaps you saw them there? Some (much) smaller Aussie cats have side by side rigs with windsurfer style sail rigs, and of course the Hobie Trifoiler was side by side. But a 70 footer with side by side rigs seems unusual. It's designed to be relatively simple to operate singlehanded, and to depower.

Thanks 😁

Awesome glad you enjoyed it 😁

Cheers buddy 🤙

Yes the board can be used at any angle and we actually sailed most of the pacific with it at 45 degrees

Thanks 🙏 the rudder has a hinge on the forward edge of the rudder cassette that allows it to hinge up. I’ll try and do another more in-depth video soon.

Thank you 🙏 Yeah we seem to find them 😁 but we also love bringing them back to life and this old girls going to be way cool once we’re done 🤙

Hard it’s to let go of the Aussie even after twenty five years of living abroad 😁

Yeah these places out here are pristine in and out of the water 🙏
