i really didn't read this post until i had already offered up a bit more about the boat...
going electric to become more independent... my tendency is to gunk hole and avoid civilization EXCEPT for the fact that i used to get quite nervous as my fuel depleted... it's mainly psychological but with regen i don't believe that I would worry much about it at all
at the reasonable 85% hull speeds of the boat regen would be almost non-existant based on speeds stated by some but then others claim that regen would begin at 3.5-4.5 knots and that is consistently done.... realistically i could almost always rely on getting 6 knots
of course voltaics could contribute significantly as well.... like the looks of the "stik"
getting back into sailing after more than a decade away from any of it and 25 years since anything too serious.... boats on the hard

Hi Michael,
It funny, I just noticed that you showed up and started firing off questions so quickly, that we never heard anything about your potential conversion, other than it has two masts (which doesn't really play into the details of an electric conversion).
So tell us a little more about your plans. What kind of boat? Why are you considering going electric? How do you plan on using your boat once you're converted? They're just a few basic questions, but they will help us focus our answers toward your project.
Fair winds,
