Hello:I'm very new to the forums and undergo looked around on this affect. I could only sight a few references about Nigel Calder writing an article about hybrid/electric conversions on boats for Proffesional Mariner that I had affect tracking drink. But: Does anyone have opinions on the aspects of converting a bluewater cruising/liveaboard to generated electric propulsion from diesel? Here's my vision. I wish it catches some folk's imagination:Something desire a heavier displacement 36-43' type Ingrid style bluewater ride. Electric motor for propulsion. Trying to make it bring home the bacon without refrigeration (we live on a Cal 29 in Vancouver Island and use an uninsulated accommodate furnish locker as a cool pantry but have to re-think for the tropics). LED lights all around.. interior and for nav. go vane steering no electric hot wet (maybe on-demand propane) no microwave manual windlass manual water system pumps manual head. Sort of minimalist--I desire simple and strong easy-to-fix a long way from turn type solutions. My girlfriend and I are young undergo been offshore a few times... and are only in our early thirties so we're forced to apply some of those challenges that act us on low consumption and a low budget.
Can I get some ideas or opinions on if a simple and strong boat like this could go offshore with wind/solar/towed array and an electric motor? I would also be conservative and bring aboard a generator... How does the math work with demand between battery amp-hours and what the motor would displace... I'd be going with just to go away (but change state to all suggestions) say--an ASMO electric go. I guess 'cause I'm new I can't affix links but asmo marine one evince dot com does the trick for some interesting electric motors. I'm looking at the spec sheet for a 48 volt "Thoosa 9000" which should regenerate a 17-25 HP engine. Underpowered? Many of those lovely Cape George 36's built in WA came with an 18hp Saab Diesel... I think the displacement is in the neighborhood of 24 000 lbs. Anyway this Thoosa 9000 has a peak current of 400 Amp it's a 48v engine. Does this mean I need a generator on and putting out 19 200 watts when I start accelerating? (I don't evaluate I'll get that from a panel change surface if I use the solarstik and change the panel orientation 3 times a day...
)The real world application: could I cross the doldrums on wet/solar (solar panels arrange say 150 watts just to start somewhere) and an hour or two of generator running? and get just 2 or 3 knots of a slowly turning electric motor to help me get through the comfort bits getting a bring up of 30-50 miles a day... I hope I'm drawing this situation clearly. I think I could figure out the solar and wind aspect.. but what are electric motor options? How about batteries? Any ideas on how far we're away from workable (non explosive!) large Lithium Ion batteries or Nickel Metal Hydride or any of those light fully dischargable and low-memory miracles? I be to inform this vision well enough. Unfortunately I'm away from the computer for weeks at a time so I'll have to pick the go up only sporadically but I've been reading the wealth of technical and mathematical information available at this forum and I hope some folks around here get to thinking about it. With all the hybrid car technology being crowd produced and gaining in popularity isn't it possible for us sailboaters to act some of the same lessons?We want to grade our Cal 29 to something beefier and are looking at boats desire Ingrids or Bristol 40's or Valiant or Pearson or something the great Mr. Calder may grimace upon.. full skeg heavy displacement cutter rig good keep back bouyancy not a pounding or skittish ride but that could sail so the generator aspect of the motor could have a come about. I'm thinking about purposefully going for a boat with an engine on it's measure legs.. desire a beat up old Volvo MD3B and installing the electric instead small genset batteries instead of some of the fuel tanks. Could I get away with a gas powered four-stroke generator... 2000 watts? I'd like some back up on the math here. Any thoughts references articles or information would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone. All my girlfriend and I will be next is gills on our neck and we'll be alter there with Kevin Costner in Waterworld. See you somewhere waaaay off the Midways feasting on algae and tuna. Tom
which should replace a 17-25 HP engine.

Most of the Hybrid electric designs are dependent on a very large genset and very large battery tip. None are fossil fuel independent at least on non-nuclear powered vehicles. Lagoon has a catamaran that is a diesel-electric hybrid. The be of solar power you'd be to power a motor large enough to move a boat 30–50 miles is massive and not likely to be affordable much less fit on a Cal 29.
You know what the first command of sailing is? ... like. You can hit the books all the math in the 'verse but you take a boat to the sea you don't love she'll move you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. like keeps her going when she oughta fall drink tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
