The first electric sailboat to complete a round-the-world tour (including a transit of the Panama Canal) using only green technology is EcoSailingProject.

Oryginalny claim Seekera

Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in electric boats has been increasing steadily, especially as more efficient solar cells have become available, for the first time making possible motorboats with a theoretically infinite cruise range like sailboats.

Pełniejszy materiał źródłowy / excerpt

An electric boat is a watercraft driven by electric motors that are powered by on-board battery packs or solar panels. While a significant majority of water vessels are powered by diesel engines, with sail power and gasoline engines also popular, boats powered by electricity have been used for over 120 years. Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine became dominant. Since the energy crises of the 1970s, interest in electric boats has been increasing steadily, especially as more efficient solar cells have become available, for the first time making possible motorboats with a theoretically infinite cruise range like sailboats. The first practical solar boat was probably constructed in 1975 in England. The first electric sailboat to complete a round-the-world tour (including a transit of the Panama Canal) using only green technology is EcoSailingProject. One of the main benefits of shifting to electric boats apart from environmental benefit is the low cost of operation. The spread between diesel and electric depends on fuel cost and grid cost in a region.

Project Amazon: An Open Class 60 Sailboat for Single-Handed Round-the-World Racing. Project Amazon is a custom-designed Open Class 60 sailboat that began development in 1992. Detail design took place in 1995–96, and construction occurred in 1996–97. Project Amazon is an aluminum cat-ketch with two carbon fiber, free-standing, rotating wingmasts, an aluminum asymmetrical swinging keel, and twin carbon fiber, daggerboard-style rudders. Followers of the Around Alone and Vendée Globe single-handed, around-the-world races and developments of Open Class 60 sailboats may find these features unusual because collectively they do not fit mainstream racing sailboat design. None of Project Amazon's des…
