The redwing is a beautiful boat, and very well suited to electric. Any ~5kw motor or package that has been discussed here, with a 5kwh battery pack should work just fine for your "an hour at most under bad conditions" requirement. It would also be easy to add a 2kw portable generator to extend your range.
What are your main limiting factors?
Price?
Time in which to get it done?
Reliability?
Something to tinker with?
Etc...
Send pictures of your project!
And don't let the C&C forum people discourage you from an electric repower.
Cheers,

Hello Richard!
Just Joined the group and am looking for direction to power a 30ft Redwing. I am looking at the Thunderstruck Sail Boat Kit withthe Gear reduction. I only need to get about an hour under power at most in poor conditions. In you opinion is this a good thought? Would you mind sharing some photos of your conversion?
All the best!
