ELECTRIC PROPULSION FOR SAILBOATS
Electric sailboat repowers, designed around the vessel.
A successful electric repower starts with your boat and the way you use it. We develop propulsion and energy concepts around your motoring needs, cruising plans, charging access, and the practical constraints of the vessel. The goal is useful real-world performance—not simply an attractive specification on paper.
What shapes an electric repower?
The right system depends on more than the engine being replaced. We consider the vessel, the way you use it, and the charging opportunities available to develop a practical propulsion and energy concept.
The Vessel
Hull form and displacement, existing engine and drivetrain, propeller, engine-room access, potential battery locations, and weight distribution.
Your operating needs
Hull form and displacement, existing engine and drivetrain, propeller, engine-room access, potential battery locations, and weight distribution.
Charging and Energy
Available shore power, other potential charging sources, onboard electrical demand, and how charging fits your normal use of the boat.
What an electric repower includes
An electric repower is more than a motor replacement. We develop the propulsion, battery, charging, and control systems together, with the installation scope tailored to the vessel and agreed in the proposal.
Propulsion and drive
The electric motor, its mounting, and the connection to the vessel’s drive arrangement, with propeller suitability considered as part of the design.
Battery Storage and charging
Battery capacity and placement, charging equipment, and integration with available energy sources, selected around your operating needs and vessel constraints.
Controls, monitoring, and integration
Helm controls, system monitoring, electrical protection, cable routing, and connections to supporting onboard systems, planned for practical operation and service access.
Range, charging, and practical expectations
What would electric propulsion mean for the way you use your boat?
Our assessment brings your operating needs and charging options together to define a practical starting point for the design.
Your expected operating range
We assess your target cruising speed, typical trip length, and desired reserve to develop a vessel-specific estimate of energy needs and range.
Your charging plan
We review where and when you can charge, the shore power available, and any optional onboard energy sources you want considered.
The fit for your vessel
We identify the space, weight, installation, and operating considerations that need to be resolved before moving into detailed design.
