Re: [Electric Boats] RE: Harbor Test 2013

 

At the time (@ 1978ish) it was a competitive decision for a shallow draft cruiser, meaning ok to run aground or bump into something.

Basically the displacement is 11,500lbs and the ballast is 4,500lbs hence the 8 tons in the straps. Wikipedia tells a nice story of some missing boats found months later still floating. In the Northeast US it is a fantastic vessel. Captn Mike has done a fantastic job integrating the E-Prop, you also for that matter.

Wow, that's a lot of over build but if you are anything like me some of that is 'stuff'.  Given that, the performance of the Nonsuch under sail becomes even more impressive.
