Not fun, but, worth it!

What's the goal with the build?

Yes looking forward to having a functional boat!

The build:

-New prop shaft and shaft seal.

-48v battery system

-12kw electric motor

Also to be done due spring:

Rudder, rails, mainsail boom (might order one in aluminium)

Ah, so you're going all electric?

Yes, might eventually have small generator to extend the motoring range.

I've got a small 500w turbine that I hope to repurpose for that same reason eventually.

Nice, I’m also going to lay some solar arrays on deck. It will be exciting to see what my energy budget will be like šŸ˜…

They'll be awesome in summer - mid November till end of January they're pretty much useless
