The Earthling E40 Hybrid Power Catamaran. We met the Earthlink team recently in Barcelona to take a look at the innovative systems on the E40 E-Propulsion Power Cat. John McGettigan motored the boat from Genoa to Barcelona (650 nm) single handed. ▫️ What do you think? ▫️ 10 Key Points: A cutting-edge hybrid-electric catamaran with top engineering standards. . Designed by @johnmcgettigan66, it's powered by twin Molabo electric motors and a 45kWh lithium battery system supported by a 2kW solar array. . On battery alone, Earthling can cruise silently for up to 40 nautical miles at lower speeds, or 20nm at 8 knots, and 18nm at 10 knots—the "sweet spot". . Two diesel-powered 8.5kW Whisperpower Genverters provide hybrid range extension and can run on biofuel. . Hulls are ultra-light (12m/3.6 tonnes) and based on the Stealth 36 powercat design, built with carbon composites for max efficiency. . Large 600mm propellers spin slowly (400–600rpm), optimised for quiet, efficient cruising at 10 knots. . Full recharge takes just 2 hours from shore power or 3 days from solar at anchor or at the dock. . The entire boat is run by E-Thos, a smart remote-control system that manages power, navigation, and amenities with real-time alerts. . Interior is single-level, open-plan, with smart use of space and 5 berths—perfect for weekend getaways . The E-40 aims to set a benchmark in eco-friendly boating: silent, clean, energy-efficient, and ready for the next generation of boaters. . #electric #hybrid #yacht
Day 6 of our Christmas calendar takes you into the engine room, where all the heavy-duty magic happens! 🎄 Here’s what you’ll find in this surprisingly spacious area: 🚛 Main engine: - A Volvo Penta TMD22 with 78 horsepower, running like a champ with just 2,000 hours. - We’re planning a full service before setting sail next summer. ⚡ Fischer Panda genset: - This powerful generator provides AC power whenever we need it—perfect for life at sea. ⚡ Port bulkhead: - Packed with many of our electrical Victron components, which we’ll show you in a future episode. It might be tight compared to a house, but for a boat, this is luxury! Got questions about our engine room or how we keep it running smoothly? Drop them in the comments! 💬 🎥 See you tomorrow as we explore more of Vela! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
