Re: [electricboats] My Solar/Electric Catamaran

Interesting. So if I took off the rudder and added a fairing, the fairing could act like a rudder?

Yes, I think it would, depending on the surface area.

Lookin' good.

I found that adding a plastic fairing around the motor's shaft greatly reduces the drag at higher speeds, so you get a higher top speed with the same motor and prop. Streamline Fairings (uflyit.com)

I have a small trimaran, and the motor itself seems to cause more drag than the hulls. Your cat hulls are probably similar.

I've been working on this project for a couple years and it's been 3 steps forward and 2 steps back but I'm getting close.
I made a video that shows my work, I hope you like it.

Hi Electrified Marine Enthusiasts!
I have been following threads here for several years, and being an engineer, entrepreneur, and boater, I have long wanted to do some disrupting in this area. This project started for me with the development of a Li battery system intended as a generator replacement in boats that use a lot of energy for things like AC, refrigeration, stabilization, etc. Well it morphed into something very different as you can see in this video:

This might not be something for everyone here to relate to, but I promise products are in the pipeline that more will.
Thanks for listening!
Jamie
