This is something I am interested in trying as well. Since I can not add a larger prop without a lot of work and $$$ the electro sailing concept does sound it might be the next best thing to regen. More speed without a lot more energy is a good thing for a cruising sailor. The ability to finely adjust prop rotation from 0 to max is something that you easily can do on an electric boat but, not a diesel. Since we will NOT be using the prop to push the entire weight of the boat through the water because we just want to negate the prop drag hopefully minimal energy would be needed. At least it will be an interesting experiment to try. Capt. Mike --- On Sat, 3/6/10, aweekdaysailor <aweekdaysailor@
