Re: Stiletto conversion
I couldn't find any specs for a Stiletto 26 but the 27's range from 1100 pounds for the base model to the 27SE at 1550 pounds. Coming from a mono, you probably won't mind sacrificing the 22kt top

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: more regen conversation
Eric, I understand were your coming from on the electric drive for your Tri and not wanting the weight of the batteries. Something that the multi hullers should also consider is the fact that the

Re: [Electric Boats] AC vs DC Motor
I have 36' steel sailboat so unless batteries get better and cheeper I will be using a 5 to 10 kw generator. ________________________________ To: electricboats@... Sent: Mon, November 29,

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Alberg 30
Check out Triton called "Atom" he made some stands so that you can stand it up on the beach at low tide. Really cool. Triton has the same draft as the Alberg 30. Dan

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Alberg 30
I meant to say 4ft 6 ins thats what you need fully loaded for cruising and a saftey margin on the Alberg 30. It will lay down on the side and come back up with the tide without taking on any water.

[Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Alberg 30
According to the Alberg 30 site, the draft is 4'3", not exactly shoal draft but a ways from 6ft. But any full keel boat isn't going to respond well to laying on the beach, even my Bermuda 30 at 3'8".

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Mark I was seeing similar results though I only saw it hit around three amps on occasion but, I was not watching the meter every second because I had to keep myself at the helm as I was sailing alone.

A friend of mine, James Baldwin sailed his Tridon around the world twice and lots of miles without an engine, just a sculling ore to get in and out of harbors... great little boat, will take you

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Depending on how far the class will let you go and what type of conversion you install you may make the boat ineligible for one design fleet racing or you may just make it non-competitive. The Alberg

Larry, As the most visible "regen naysayer" here, the link that you provided completely supports my previous premise. According to the Whoosh site "... And since we average 5-6 kts, that's over 100

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Correction: the claim was 10-12amps (presumably into 12v)---that would be nom. 120watts (instead of the 250watts I mentioned) from the combined total of water and air generators. Sent: Monday,

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Sure regen works! But what you offered as an example (towed gens) is not technically regen---we use ¡°regen¡± to refer to using an electric drive motor as generator when the medium (in this case,

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Captain Bill, Removing the engine does not remove the boat from the fleet it just makes you sail it. I am converting a Triton a sister ship. Dan

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
I am all in favor of converting sailboats to electric and looked at an Alberg 30 myself.? I quickly realized that it would be too large and needs about 6 ft of water for the keel.? I also found out

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27
Ron, have you ever gone to a "brain storm session", we used to have them at Apple all the time and you could throw out any thoughts that came to mind. This idea isn't so far fetched at all, it just

Re: conversion 8 hp outboard powered by 5 kw generator
