Back in October 2012 a few days before Hurricane Sandy blew through the area I made a extended motor sail with my electric propulsion system. The winds were light to non existent for most of the trip. So I had to use my Thoosa 9000 EP and the Honda generator for almost the entire 40 nautical miles. Actually operated under battery for the first two and half hours. Then went into "hybrid mode" Honda ran for over five hours on a single tank of gas while I electro-sailed using my NG-1 battery charger at 16 amps to provide the power. Quite a nice trip despite the lack of wind. Here are some videos of the cruise:
