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!

I have a home made electric outboard that charges under sail, though it slows the boat some.

Thanks Fred, I hadn’t consider that possibility - how did you do, using a petrol outboard as a basis? Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Many thanks, will look into that possibility!
Meanwhile if anybody has a stock solution for an outboard that generates electricity under sail I remain interested! Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Check out cruising hydrogerator. Google ?It is an ideal solution for an electric sailing catamaran?
