🌿 A New Era of Sustainable Sailing on Our Boat
We proudly present our latest upgrades that have completely transformed the way we enjoy our time at sea:
-
An electric outboard motor powered directly through our 12 V system.
-
Two new solar panels with charge regulators.
-
Two parallel-connected service batteries providing long-lasting capacity.
✅ The Benefits We Now Enjoy
-
Eco-friendly propulsion – quieter, cleaner, and fuel‑free.
-
Solar independence – energy comes directly from the sun, even while anchored.
-
Extended capacity – parallel batteries provide enough power for an entire week.
-
Smart use of surplus energy – when the batteries are full, excess power is used to charge the outboard motor.
-
Autonomy – a full week without worrying about energy, giving us more time to enjoy sailing.
🌊 What This Means for Us
Our boat is now almost fully self‑sustaining. We can stay at anchor for days without starting the engine, and the electric outboard motor becomes practically a “free” propulsion system since it’s charged using surplus solar energy. The system is quiet, sustainable, and economically efficient in the long run — a true step toward modern and responsible sailing
