This is not meant to encourge anyone to go with low power.
We were at a meet up and race for our Alberg 30s on the weekend.
On the Friday night one of our friends got a text from his kids (40 year old) who was bringing his boat over that the diesel had quit. They ran it out of fuel. They were in a fairly narrow chanel and what wid there was would be on the nose.
Since I was the only one who had not had a drink I said we could go tow them in. I liked the irony of an electric towing an ice that was out of fuel.
We have an electric yacht 100ibl system which moves our Alberg pretty well.
We were able to tow them back at 2.5 kts using 47-50 amps at 48 volts.
Each one of these boats is 10000lbs displacement.
Kept it slow for saftey as the harbour has 3 ferry crossings that we had to time.
There are now a few more people that are surprised at what you can do with electric systems.
