Is there an electric outboard that can recuperate under sail?


 

Hi there, I'm new here and I wonder if you could give me any hints on this question that I have been unable to answer (in the positive) by using google and sending questions to manufacturers. I have a 30ft sailing catamaran that has twin petrol outboards sitting in wells in the cockpit. As the cat has daggerboards and retractable rudders, I would not like to fit pod or saildrive type motors to the hulls, but instead replace the existing outboards. However I felt with the lower range of the electric motors - not to overload the boat with batteries - it would be necessary to recharge on long sailing passages - hence my question.

Many thanks in advance!
