Community Contribution - Electric Propulsion

The Excess 11 is particularly suitable for electric propulsion. In my calculations I started from 2x Oceanvolt sail drive 10 Using Deep bleu battery 360V. 40.0 KWh 278 kg If we compare the weight of 2 Diesel engines with 2x 100 l fuel v.s. above electrical drive, then we get a weight saving of about 375 kg. The range of this electrical combination will approximately 60 NM. Would like to hear your response.

Community Contribution - Rainwater catchment

I’ve often wondered why catamarans aren’t built incorporating a rainwater catchment system?

Community Contribution - Why not offer a long term charter option for new boats coming out of the yard?

Lead times are too long (and expensive) to order a new boat (especially since the abolition of the VAT advantage with a leasing/LOA scheme) and finding a second hand boat is a headache (with inevitable risks associated with the age and condition of a boat).... not to mention the uncertainty of any resale. So why not offer a long-term charter formula for new boats coming out of the yard?
