Sail Life - 1600W of solar☀ on a 38 ft sailboat & re-stepping the mast⛵

This week we installed 1600W of solar on our 38 ft sailboat. We're using four 400W Sunpower solar panels. Those are connected to two Victron Energy 100/30 MPPT charge controllers. Also, this week, we get the mast re-stepped and take care of a few other projects. Time codes below :)
