Being a little sloppy with the units is not that bad - his real blunder is
claiming 72 Watts output. The Condor catamaran claims 22 Amps at 144 Volts, or
over 3 kW output when regenerating in a good breeze. They generate enough
sailing during the day to power in and out of their inlet.


I'm still pretty skeptical, 3 kW is neary 5 Hp, allowing for some losses
it's going to be equivalent to stapping a 5 horse outboard to your bow
and run it full throttle trying to push the boat back. This might have
a significant impact on performance, speed wise, no?
