Re: [Electric Boats] Solar Electric Regatta

 

Why is it too late to get across the great Lakes this year?  Many folks take three years to do the loop because that is how it is best enjoyed.  I see no reason why it could not be done in a season if it were a race and tourism 2as not the goal.

It has officially slipped another year because the guy doing it hasn't finished his boat yet, (Electric Blue). Which btw was quite predictable. I'm not surprised he hasn't updated his website but the latest on his progress can be found on his facebook page, "Electric Blue Solar Yacht". Which, to date,  is neither "Electric" or "Solar". (However he is getting closer)

While I think the idea of a solar regatta around the great loop is an excellent concept,  imo, this particular race is little more than a self serving attempt by this guy to get free stuff.  The schedule was always unrealistic and he has been promoting it looong before his boat was even running.  There are several other people who have been attempting to be the first to transit the great loop strictly on solar power for years but have all failed. It's a very challenging passage but someone will eventually do it, maybe next season though, because it's too late to get across the great lakes this year. Personally, I've given up on the idea for myself because the Archimedes most likely doesn't quite have  the ass to do it in its current configuration and I don't have the resources yet to make the necessary upgrades. Someday perhaps,  but for now I'm please to say the Arc has been running great these last 3 years and I'm content to be cruising the back waters of Florida just for the fun of it,  2500 solar powered miles and counting.
