Welcome, on this site I want to log my experiences of converting our \nFeeling 29DI sailing yacht \u201cIt Paradyske\u201d (Little Paradise) from diesel \nto electric propulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause it is possible?\u201d \u201cWhy not?\u201d
\n\u201cBecause it is silent!\u201d
\nBecause I like to build things and this is a beautiful challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we are sailors and love sailing. The silence, being propelled by the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you\u2019ll have a limited range, not enough power etc.
\nYes, our motor range will be limited, but on the other hand, we hate \nmotoring. We sail when possible, even if the wind and the tide is \nagainst us. Last year (2018) we only had 25 engine hours. This years \nholiday we had days we didn\u2019t use the motor at all, sailing from \nanchorage to anchorage.
\nAnd a diesel is so old fashioned technology (1893). (OK perhaps the \nelectric engine is even older, 1837). But a diesel is smelly, noisy, and\n lots of vibrations, every year you have to change oil, winterize etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So yes, I like to go electric. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
