King_of_NewOrleans makes great!!! points:
1. If you need long (motoring) range, you need diesel.
2. On a monohull sailboat... can't hang enough solar panels
3. Regen negligible unless sailing in double digits.
4. E-boats are generally driven at about half of hull speed, or less.
5. Electric drive really shines for boats that are SAILED
5. Electric drive really shines for boats that are SAILED
6. easier docking, maneuvering, power tacking, reverse
7. cheaper to repower if you have time, skills, education
I'll add:
8. will dramatically improve your sailing skills
9. VERY low maintenance costs in time and money
10. will enrich your relationship with the planet, which becomes a dear friend that you get to hang out with all the time. I know... pretty woo-woo, but the holistic beneficial effects of non-destructive planetary e-play, of making a friend out of anenome, is worth all the effort.
