(Other than stating the obvious from the specs: Wilbur, 10 kW are 34 hp that would be pretty good, even 17 hp for 24 hr run time. Engine specs would be peak power.) I would like to know what countinous power output one could _really_ expect; with other words, were they cruising or drifting? Thanks!

Good day, what do you guys (especially the solar cell experts) think of this boat? http://www.transatlantic21.org/ Chris The specs say two motors using 8kw each for 16kw total and two 5kw arrays producing 10kw total. So they're producing less power than they use. Hmmmmm! I'd say they got problems. Probably have a diesel generator tucked in one of the hulls. Wilbur Hubbard |
