One of my favorite sailing “discussion” channels! Thanks for the great information.

If it helps, the "rich old man" phenomenon is more generally the "old man" phenomenon, and it can be found in any otherwise worthwhile, complex, potentially expensive activity you care to mention. In my case: shooting, hunting, cycling, building, sailing, and THINKING…. to paraphrase buzz lightyear: "old men… old men everywhere…"

Not sure why you have to justify yourself nor why people have to hate on others who are just trying to help, and do it unpaid, but there you go. Some people are jealous but too lazy or incapable to do themselves what you're doing. Love your channel, love your videos, super helpful, don't stop. You only have to read the comments to see there is more support than juvenile sniping.

This is a good tutorial for solar/batteries. I went thought this exercise about 12 months ago to put battery and solar on my 4×4. One thing you forgot to mention is that lithium batteries last about 2.5 times longer than AGM batteries. So even though the AGM is cheaper you have to replace it more often.

I had this dilemma with my 4×4 and in then ended up going with an AGM to reduce my upfront costs. But I made sure I got a dc dc charger which supports both AGM and lithium so that when I need to replace the battery I will get a lithium which I hope will be a bit cheaper a couple of years down the road.

Sad to hear the rant was necessary; love your work . . . long-time viewer.

That said . . . you have thrown the cat amongst the pigeons . . .

Having recently studied Italian out of necessity, I would suggest . . .

Lead-acid BAD except for engine batts.

Lithium weighs far less. Requires less space. Charges far quicker and is more forgivingly of charging fluctuations. And discharges down to 15-20% without degradation of the batteries. (As opposed to 50% AGM).

Just don't forget to 'fuse' it. And buy reputable.

I put 1020 ah of Lithium on a 40 ft boat 2 yrs ago and that was barely enough in the tropics powering conservative use of ship's systems, sml LED LCD TV, sml fridge and the occasional use of a microwave; for 2 people.

900w of 72v solar charged that amply. Victron MPPT 150-85 controller is a good coupling for the system. And don't use an inverter less 2000W. Better to convert to 12v.

Stay sane. Keep up the good work.

Tim, you don’t need advice from me. But, in my opinion, you are doing and saying the right things. Saying them much better than me, mate.

There are detractors everywhere and the internet seems to attract more of them. Don’t listen to them.

As for this video: cool bananas. Timely as we are in the midst of upgrading our single 20 year old panel to 4 x 440w bifacials and four 100/30 victron mmpts. Plus rainwater collection from them all. So your video was timely.

We aren’t quite going to get 500ah of battery storage, but 400 should be adequate for our 35ft mono.

A word on bikinis. I have nothing against them but if I wanted to stare at young babes I’d be watching other videos and be less well informed. I think Practical Sailor did the right strategic thing seeking you out.

My wife and I spend a lot of our free time (and sometimes our money) reading these articles and buying related ebooks as required. You’re an excellent fit for PS.

Appreciate keeping it classy and deffinitely appreciate what you do! The same hater probably would say Great Lakes sailing ain't serious or real sailing also. How about throwing them for a real loop and do an episode how it's not all about the water line but there is often a soulful connection sailors have when the right boat comes along, even if it's a Catalina. To be fair I actually love Catalinas and even some older 80s boats. Been seriously considering a J40 as a family cruiser even at its age but LOOVE the way they sail and all sheets are at the helms reach!

When Lattitudes called you a potato head I shut him off. There’s no place for juvenile name calling. Nice response with a “thanks for watching”. High road wins.
Keep it up. I’m making my way to the water and appreciate all the cheerleading and coaching!
