  • how far can it go on a charge , because I know that is not enough solar to direct drive the system,

    I always like to see someone come up with a new concept, can you run air conditioning

  • @SolarwaveCatamaran is that a ron paul sticker on the back

  • can they store the wind somehow - to go by sail without wind? cokking and freezing with the wind? Maybe producing water with the wind? We can! However - we solarsailed the last 3500 miles without fuel - can you show me any sailingboat in the world, that sails with 6 guests - everyday in an new port or bay, including cooing, freezing and auirconditionm, electric bike and outboard for the dinghy, washingmachine ..... - without using one drop of fuel - for 3500 miles????

  • @SolarwaveCatamaran What you said is a little puzzling. Sailing boats can go with no fuel all the time if there is wind. Even at night!

  • This boat needs no sail - whatfor? During the last 3500 Miles it used only solarenergy - NO FUEL - show me one sailingboat, that "sailed" this distance without fuel! And the panels are still on its place!

  • unbelievable but true - there are boats without sail - people call them "motorboat" or powerboat. This is an electric motorboat - as fast as a sailingboat - even without wind.

  • Is it just me or does the solar panel look ripe for lift on with a good gust... What happened to the sail?
