Solar panel gantries, built to fit your yacht<\/h1>\n\n\n

Bespoke stainless steel gantries, designed and welded by Jan Grieveson: a time-served fabricator and liveaboard sailor who has built them on Levkas and now from our base in the North East of England.<\/p>\n\n\n

Built by cruising sailors<\/h3>\n\n\n

We lived aboard our Moody 44 for nine years, so we know the reliability a cruising boat demands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Measured for your boat<\/h3>\n\n\n

Five simple measurements and a proof drawing for you to approve before anything is cut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

316L stainless throughout<\/h3>\n\n\n

Every weld is visually inspected before polishing, for a gantry that is strong and looks right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

We learnt the hard way, so you don\u2019t have to<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n

We spent four years wrestling with the two most talked-about subjects in the liveaboard community, battery management and anchoring, before we engineered our own solutions. Nobody really wants to buy solar panels. What everyone wants is a cold drink from a fridge they can rely on, and that means good batteries and even better battery management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

What solar did for us<\/h3>\n\n\n

On board Mychi we now live the whole summer with no shore power. We got rid of the diesel generator, stopped replacing batteries every year, switched to 6-volt golf cart batteries and went solar. Five years on, the fridge still runs 24 hours a day with no sign of anything failing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
