[Electric Boats] Re: a large electric boat powered by solar?

 

Kerry,

Large catamaran solar boats: great idea. Here's a really light one in Thailand, for the calmer waters:

They only have a few solar panels on the roof, since they do short tourist cruises and shore charge.

Barry Stone would likely sell you the plans or even a completed boat:

Carry on,

X 15ft. 600 sq. Ft of solar pannels. Would someone like to take a ruff guess of as to what kind speed I could expect, or do I need to wait for the next invention in. I also looked at RTD thrusters as a primary source of drive and direction. Thanks..... Kerry
