VELAȚIA ELECTRICĂ: DE CE și-au anulat SISTEMUL OCEANVOLT

1. I've gone back and forth over this question myself, and I still think the serial hybrid system is the best way to go in the long run for a catamaran. That is assuming they can get the kinks worked out. But for me the selling point isn't "being green" or efficiency at all. It's that a serial hybrid system on a cat will have 2 fewer Deisel engines (one DC genset vs two Yanmars and an AC genset) to maintain. That's a lot of time I'm not tightening belts, changing oil, or replacing impellers. And that is immensely attractive to me.

2. The industrial complex that has to be in place for manufacturing and services in general… there's no green option for boat owners..

3. Great video

4. Hoi Jessica, Bedankt voor de aanvulling op de vorige show van dit leuke koppel altijd interessant de discussie tussen een brandstof motor of elektrisch en de eerste interview van Hugo dat is ook een leuke show

5. We have an oceanvolt on our Bristol 35, truthfully we use it as if we did not have a motor, sailing in and out of harbors, waiting for weather windows, only motoring in flat seas, but that may not work for everyone.

6. It's a sailboat? What is this discussion about. Use the sails

7. We’ve been discussing and think it’s great for sailing eg 50-100nm a day, no aircon on . But given we’re more likely to sail days on end 24/7 with multiple air conditioners and equipment on, we doubt it’ll work and that it’s worth the investment. Even though we’re looking at many kw of solar and regeneration.. the calculation so far seem off.
   Well discuss again before de finite order to build goes in. But so far I don’t see the point in financial terms at all. Given what we would spent in addition the financial part seems way off. Hence for that money we may redesign the hulls to sail more and motor less. And buy a diesel.

8. I'm with Peter and Kiki on this. One diesel powering two electric motors and then decoupling to be purely electric when entering and exiting anchorages/marinas, would be my pick. There's a lot of "massaging the data" going on with electric systems but the reality is that they are slow, underpowered and their range is garbage, for the capital outlay of buying the latest shiny thing.

9. Interesting. Going electric is both absolutely possible as well as not for everyone. Last winter I build and installed a full electric system into Aku Wama, my Pogo 8.50. After one full season and 3000 miles I am still very happy with it, it turned out much better than I expected. I should do a video about it :). But, my electric engine is truly as powerful (6 kW) as the diesel engine (10hp) it replaced, a Pogo sails very well so I rarely do need to motor longer stretches (but traversing the Kiel Canal was not a problem), and the boat, engine and batteries are all a lot smaller than a 45 ft cat.

10. The best realistic look at hybrids.

11. Boats wait for hydrogen,it's on it's way

12. This guys are so selfish, they kept saying that it didn’t meet their needs but it’s about Earth need! Not yours, if you have the chance and money to go green and not choose to do that you are an assole also because you have the chance to Show and give other people positive advices to save our planet.
    Thank you
