Re: [Electric Boats] Alternative to propeller

 

Hi All
   I'm in process of building a sailboat.   I want to power it electrically.
How do I compute what I need (based on the length of the boat, its
displacement, distance I need to travel to get to open water suitable
for sailing or to get home if the wind should die, on whether I got
after inboard or trolling motor,   etc.)?  Are there formulas to cover
such questions -- and if so, what are they or where can I find them?
  Thanks in advance for your help.
