Re: [electricboats] Electric and regen under sail

It's nice to see a somewhat purpose built electric sailboat! 

They were regenerating 1kw PER motor at 8 knots!

So on the recent topic of regen, the latest Uma video profiles a  design from Solana yachts, 46ft, with a dual oceanvolt setup with feathering props. In the video they demo regen of up to 1kw coming into the system when sailing at 8kts. 

It's a really fun video, and does talk some on the motivation to electric in the first place.
