The system is a 100ibl with a 200 amp agm bank. The only numbers I have don't mean much. The first time I ran the system the boat did not have all our gear onboard. At this point we got 3.5 knots at 18 amps and a brief run at 65 amps gave us 4.7 knots. With our liveaboard gear on board this dropped to 3 knots at 20 amps and about 4 at 55 amps. We are going to change the gearing this winter so we can get the full 100 amps.
I should mention that our battery bank is 2 100 amp pasks in parallel. This is what allowed us to be able to charge from a 1000 watt generator. The Alberg is a easy hull to drive. 8 knot winds already give us 5+ knots off the wind. The blog should catch up to us fairly soon. We are now in Toronto. Richard.
