Not bad looking tender. Too bad it costs about $25,000 just for the batteries to drive it at 15 knots for an hour before taking the rest of the...
As rare as a 2MW 65 foot trawler I would say ... looks like another strawman to me. Sounds like a good marketing opportunity for you. Let us...
No, not really any contradiction. Technology demonstrators are often scaled versions or built on off-the-shelf platforms that are affordable....
And what evidence exists to prove that contention? I challenge any reader to submit a verifiable report of a captain having his license...
I believe we are less likely to see major changes in the smaller yachts as the costs involved to install future-tech gadgets are so much higher in...
But very much apples to oranges and not a valid comparison.
Did that little bit you read say anything about a "6-pack" not being valid for international operations? It is an operator's permit to allow near...
I don't see any sails either and I certainly don't see the future of yachting looking anything like that hocky puck on skids.
And I believe that if and when the full story comes out the sub will have been directly under the ship in order to screen the noise signature. The...
The whole quote should have been "if you are claiming or believe... " If you don't then there isn't a problem.
Still the answer to that has to be "so what?" The figures I posted on the size of an array required to power a 2500kW yacht were based on at...
I believe the reasoning behind restricting it to terrestrial, non-combatant use for the time being is that the standard fuel, F-76, has very high...
Do you have a new book on solar power you need to share or do you just not understand that you cannot get more power out of an array than goes...
Are you sure you are in the right thread? Making shale oil onboard a yacht would be tricky too. Maybe that is why no one here has suggested it....
We are talking about the future of yachting. Fort Lauderdale is only one point on the moving map of yachting. This is a worldwide industry with...
It appears that they have. It looks like they used a half million gallons of biodiesel in 2007 according to this report:...
And for how many hours will this lovely little battery deliver 150kW? Why would I want to do something like that? Need I say again that so far...
It is rather difficult to extract more energy from a solar cell than is available in the light that illuminates it. The sun puts about 1 kW per...
"...a Yacht is a large recreational boat, luxury is not a requirement." Gasp sputter choke ... aarrrgghhh! That is heresy and it undermines the...
"Hybrid propulsion allows many advantageous scenarios to become possible." That is true but the fact remains that there is no such thing as...
