Re: [Electric Boats] Thrust to speed numbers

 

Based on this great info below,validated by the "pull tests"  it becomes easy to see how converting to electric propulsion for sailboats @ 3-4 knots allows for applying the Instant Torque
Power Curve to a very efficient propeller at relatively low rpms (@1000-1800)
 
"This relationship between input power and speed allows you to quickly evaluate how changes in power applied will affect speed."

the speed of a boat will be approximately proportional to the square [root] of the input power until hull speed is reached.
