Hi,
I'm an electrical engineer who specializes in electric vehicle designs. I was asked by a boat owner who wants to convert his 2007 Bavaria Vision 44 into electric powered with no compromise. He is willing to go for the latest lithium, solar, and wind technology. He basically want this boat to be 100% green with not a single drop of fossil fuel needed.
I am fairly knowledgeable with electric vehicles, but I am very new to boating. What is the average energy consumption per day needed for a 44foot sailboat? eg. It has a 210L diesel fuel tank. how long does the 210L diesel fuel last usually? What is the energy needed to propel it to a reasonable speed?
the area under the main sail in the middle of the boat, can solar panels go there or does the sailor needs to stand on that part?
are there controllable pitch propellers for boats this size?
Thanks
