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
After renting out their house in New Zealand, Renee and Lynette pushed off aboard their steel sailboat Tekaihau to sail around the world. They have sailed over 30,000 nautical miles and visited 16 countries so far. Just another 8000 miles to go... We interviewed Renee and Lynette aboard their 1968 Moody Halberdier sailboat on the hard in Bobby's boat yard in Sint Maarten in February 2012...
