It is indeed a big boat and we were estimating an engine size of around 500kWe in one or two electric engines. That makes it pretty big on the generator side. That's why we are looking into some hybrid options now to get a better ratio again.
Thanks for all your help.

Can be seen on http://www.kastenmarine.com/30m_phinisi.htm. My enquiries so far cover the diesel/electric solution, but with enormous generators on board. (As usual on bigger commercial boats)
