[Electric Boats] Re: 31' Sailboat Conversion

 

If the boat is a Bombay Clipper Pilothouse, the dimensions are as follows:

Hull Type: Long Keel          

Rig Type:   Masthead Sloop

LOA:  31.00' / 9.45m  

LWL:  25.75' / 7.85m

Beam:  11.50' / 3.51m  

Draft (max.)   3.50' / 1.07m                      

Disp.  12250 lbs./ 5557 kgs.     

Ballast: 4000 lbs. / 1814 kgs.


This is the speed and power table for the boat

Kts          Amps    Watts

2.4          10           480

3.1          20           960

3.9          40           1920

4.4          60           2880

4.9          80           3840

5.6          120         5760

6.6          190         9120

7.0          240         11520

7.6          300         14400

Hull speed           6.80       


You would need a 15kW motor to match the diesel power in the boat and to get the boat to hull speed with authority.  With a 14.4kW battery pack you would see a 20NM range at 4kts or a 11NM range at 5kts. Do not plan on regeneration as your boat will likely not produce much due to max cruising speed and limited propeller size and full keel.
