Re: Regen under sail
Sailing Uma talked about this in one of their episodes.
The problem is that you have to energize an AC motor which requires some draw on the system. Until the prop is spinning fast enough to generate

Eric,
I concur.? Over 600 conversions on ocean going sailboats up to 40000lbs.? If you do it right with quality marine components you will have a safe and reliable system.? Yes you can cross oceans

Has it just been 12 years, Eric? :)
I seem to recall you having gone electric about when I did (2003).
You certainly were on the leading edge of sailboat conversions and I may have been one of the

For $3190? Yikes! I think that is an order of magnitude too steep for the use case.
They look like an interesting vendor though!

Re: Draft Schematic-Please give input
Jeff, have a search for Safiery and their Scotty product. It¡¯s a 2-way DC-DC 12-48 buck boost for 3kW. It would provide your 12v tap (up to 3kW).

Re: One engine down...looking for solutions/suggestions
Oh, I would be very interested in your current draw vs speed in different
conditions - flat, 1m seas. Are you running 48v?
Thanks

Regen under sail
Hi all,
Very interesting discussions going on, thank you for your inputs.
I was told that AC induction motors like mine are very bad /useless for
regen.
Would you agree?
Aren't AC induction motors

Cycling through 4x series-connected 12v batteries will require a high current, isolated multiplexing circuit. The loss generated by the switching components will likely be as great a loss as a buck
