Aloha to David Tether. My husband and I might
just take you up on a sail on your boat. We are months
away from investing in a electric system for our 35
foot sailboat recently launched.
www.aloha.net/~encore<br>Seeing is believing and here in Hawaii, it is hard to
find boats of this nature. Do you know of any similar
sailboats on the west coast closer to us? By the way, we
hear rumours here at the EVA meetings that "the wheel"
system has fizzled. According to your email thats not
true. Correspondance from anyone in the EBA Club would
be appreciated regarding a system for a 35 foot
sailboat... Mahalo Gabriella

Aloha Sailor Girl..Solomon Technologies is
anything but fizzling out...Check out Sept.99 Classic Boat
or October 99 Multihulls Mags..Also we are going
public in Canada in March. Our motors are proving to be
better than we had ever hoped. The Regeneration on a
43ft cruising Cat in 12-14 knotts of wind was 3KW.
Additionaly, we replaced 40 HP worth of outboards with two 6
HP electrics and went 1.5 Knotts faster. Left the
marina..motored 1/2 hr., sailed for 2 1/2 hrs in 12 to 14 knotts
of wind, motored another 1/2 hr and when we got to
the dock had more energy in the batteries than when
we left....<br><br> Also there is a 36 ft Cal in
Marina Del Rey that just went to Mexico and back...Dr.
Frank Robinson. And we are doing an installation on a
30 ft. Islander at Santa Monica YC this
month...<br><br>Common Down...although today we seem to be having about
12" of snow....but the electric motors are running
fine....<br><br>David Tether<br>CEO, Solomon Technologies
