Me likes this. This is really cool, but how long does it take to charge her batteries when you are in wind or solar and you have spent some of the power?

That is great, I want to do a 35 to 40 foot catamaran in the future with solar power and small generator.

Hi Im looking at converting my 35ft challenger to electric. Can you tell me the displacement of your boats and how many Watts she takes at 5,4 and 3 knots if you know? Thanks trying to figure out how much power ill need...

@TanzanianRoots I used ElectricYacht, I was part of their beta program when I switched over my boat. They'll give you a free performance quote based on your boat regardless if you buy their system or not. This is the form that is on their new website. Just scroll down and fill it in and they'll get back to you.

What is the total weight of the battery pack?
tprdfh51 1 year ago
@tprdfh51 The weight of my battery pack 528 pounds. You can use a smaller battery pack, I had eight T125 batteries, for 240 AH at 48volts. I wanted a 20 nautical mile range at 4knots. In hind sight it far exceeded my actual use.

What is the top speed and range using the electric motor?
Odziz 4 years ago
@Odziz Sailboats have a displacement hull so their top speeds tend to be around 5 to 8 knots, (longer the boat the higher the speed) making them perfect for electric conversion. Tranquility's top speed was around 5 knots with the electric motor, which is about what the gas motor provided. Sailboats are for sailing, so the motor was just for putzing around the harbor or getting off the mooring. I had a range of 20 nautical miles at 4 knots to get home in case of no wind.
