Re: [Electric Boats] Conversion of 34' 10T sailboat to electric.

 

Regarding charging systems: I did not see regeneration mentioned. Electric Yacht's system provides for that.

The electric powered 42 foot catamaran that Lagoon built a few of used re-gen, claiming that 2 hours of sailing, with the prop being spun by passing water, would provide charging used by one hour motoring. Ie: Motor out an hour, sail four hours, motor in an hour,= zero amps used.

Here in Seattle, I know of an older Columbia 30 footer, that sounds a lot like your project. He's using the Electric Yacht system with re-gen and lithium batteries.
