The electrical conversion of Old Ships Sailboat

Electric Boat is a term that, when I first heard it was like putting aluminum foil in your mouth. He shook my mind like a combination of elements, totally inadequate to the existence nearby, ie, electricity and salt water. A tired old diesel was removed from the type, a wooden sailboat for mines, while the sewage area was stripped clean and re-painted white. When everything was clean and bright and a little thought ‘insignificant’ electric motor and equipment must be installed on site.
electric boat, I could not believe it. I thought the owner, who is totally crazy. The source of this enthusiasm electric boat conversion, comparable to the conversion of Saul on the Damascus road, was a video I recently saw a catamaran powered by two times in the legs outboard engines mounted on its hull propeller, ie the party fold water. The Electric Boat and cats it seems, is a marriage of great convenience. If your budget will run to it, you can mount the panel on the cover of sufficient capacity to feed a cat a small town, if you’re so inclined. On a monohull, however, one is limited in terms of opportunities for placement and my eyes, most of which are horrible. However, many helmets are very sensitive to weight, which means that when the weight stack, the performance drops dramatically.
This is where the old mono-hull sailboats has a big advantage. Many old wooden sailboats have additional internal ballast, or pig of lead in sewage. To convert an electric boat, the pigs of lead batteries are replaced by so that the gain in weight, is likely to be negative. Ballast is not just a dead weight.
Second, is the fixed pillar versus propellers question. Unless you opt for a variable pitch fabulous and fabulously expensive; Hundested propeller and reversible, is not a problem of electric energy in a mono hull, it usually requires a support fixed, if you want to recharge the candle. I’d love to mount a drive power for my sailboat 72 years old wood, but do not want a fixed bearing. The case of three blades now creates so much drag that spot you can feel the Whirlpool leadership of candles. It takes into account a node sailing, be translated into 20 nm clock weird.
If you can simply fold the propeller shaft and total up the water to lay flat against the hull, which solves several problems at the same time, not least of which is the problem of accurate alignment of the engine in an enclosed space. The second problem is the presence of a gland that is a pain in the keyhole. The third problem is the propeller. The propeller, with a diesel engine is a solution to dragging, but I’ve seen major problems caused by the mechanisms jammed and when they wear, wield. Having the ability to remove the entire apparatus of water when the flight is beautiful and elegant. It is perfectly eliminates the factor of drag when sailing into account the ability to remove the support of the water also eliminates the complications of anti-fouling problem in the tropics and amazing to keep the intake of salt water clear of marine growth. Any ideas out there?
