Hi all!
Another link of interest regarding Hobie catamaran:
Torqeedo Catalina Solar/Electric Boat Challenge
26.5 nautical miles from Long Beach Harbor to Catalina Island
http://www.navagear.com/2009/11/20/torqeedo-catalina-challenge-seeks-to-prove-open-water-electric-propulsion/
Extract:
The first successful Torqeedo Catalina Challenge took place on October 24 in a 16'7" Hobie® Getaway Catamaran named the Kona Concept®, modified to accommodate batteries and a solar panel and powered by the Cruise 4.0R Torqeedo Electric Outboard Motor. Captain of Kona Concept and grandson of Bob Nordskog, Erik Robert Nordskog, and navigator Jim Czarnowski, director of engineering for Hobie Cat, were very proud to recreate the crossing. They completed it in just 6 hours and 41 minutes and with 35% battery power remaining.
All yours,
Pierre
