I am a new member but I was a quiet member a few years ago but my work took up too much of my time. I am now preparing to retire (next year) and planning on putting an electric auxiliary in my retirement sailboat. My reason for joining the group.
I currently have several skiffs, a 26' Cris Craft that I am restoring (75% done) and will sell, and a 47' LOA (18-ton 40' OD, 14'3" beam) not too close Spray replica. However, my sailboat is too deluxe and has considerable energy needs. With a Volvo 106 HP diesel and a large sloop mainsail, I worry that I may have difficulty handling the boat as I age.
I am planning on building a 32-35' double-ender ketch or schooner with an electrical backup motor to sail off into retirement. I am interested in hearing what others are doing in regards to electrical propulsion.
