AW: [Electric Boats] Re: converting a 42 foot sloop to electric propulsion

 

G'day Todd,
I have two Aquair units both are mounted tho I only use one at a time, but I can toss both props into the water if I have strong enough wind to benifit the drag. The only problems I have seen with others who have used them are they forget about them and will somehow get them fowled up in the props.
 
Cheers

Regen for short trips is probably not viable. That said it might be nice for longer trips. Or perhaps with larger faster boats it might be more viable. This article gives a nice synopsis "http://www.svsarah.com/Whoosh/WhooshPacificPrepTowGenerator.html". I think regen may be like water makers, you have to be going for longer trips to make sense. I like Capt. Mikes idea of mutual backups. Maybe solar, regen, and generator with a faster boat.
