Maybe I can get my hands on a wrecked GM Precept sedan-- a
diesel-electric hybrid. Charge the system from the turning prop while
sailing and use the stored energy during times of no wind or
manuvering. I wonder if a hybrid boat has been buildt yet, besides the
standard Motor Sailing vessel which is by defination a hybrid.

I do know for many years now you could get a tow behind torpedo that
charges the batteries. Sailboats might be able to absord enough energy
that you would never need to fire up the diesel part.
