@

@richardelder2563 years ago You guys are the best! In what is becoming a crowded yachty field your film making and scripting has risen to the very top.
I spent two weeks in the Bahamas ten years ago on what was one of the earliest electric drive sailboats. It was 44' and only about 10,000#. I recall seeing 12.9 knots under all plain sail in conditions about like those in day 2 of your vid. Loved "sailing" away from anchorages with no sail hoisted and no wind. Loved watching our neighbors in the anchorage scratch their heads!
The boat I was on had a large fixed three blade prop that was great on regen and for motorsailing. In variable winds we set the controller at a level where it produced just enough energy to provide a little drive in the lulls to maintain speed, and produce a little regen in the puffs.
I get the twin engine arrangement. It will sell a lot of boats to modern sailors who never learned to dock properly just like those Beneteau Sense customers. I only see two downsides-- extra cost and vulnerability to drift and lobster pots. I take it that the Salona wasn't meant for Alaska floating
My other comment applies to almost all "modern" sailboats. Do you really want to cross the North Atlantic while being thrown against those knife-edge corners in the galley and head? Especially since "interior desiccator" architects eliminate handholds to generate a cleaner and modern look. I have a large bone spur on one elbow courtesy of a 15' flight across the salon of a big Oyster on a late fall delivery to Bermuda. .. ...Expand

@

@LoanwordEggcorn3 years ago Thanks to you and green yachts promoting electric sailboats. The combination of sail andto recharge the batteries is highly synergistic and practical. Certainly for most coastal cruising, it means never needing to burn fossil fuels. It is therefore living in better harmony with nature. All energy comes from the wind, including the energy for the motors. In addition the batteries can be charged from shore power, windmill, sun, generator, etc.
interesting boat design. Not wild about the finish (too much ikea effect in the woodwork) but could possibly be specified differently. Like the white upholstery.
boat seems pretty fast.
note: battery capacity is always in units of energy, such asjoules, etc. Therefore a unit of power such as 30 kw as a battery capacity makes no sense. 30kw as battery power is possible, but generally lithium ion batteries can output much higher power than their rated capacity. Probably they mean 30 kwh. ...Expand
