Building an ALUMINUM Sailboat Pt 8 - HYBRID Power on a Sailboat: Will it Work for Distance? | EP 228

#sailing #hybridpower #powermanagement This time on Distant Shores we're planning out the energy requirements of our new Enksail Orion 49 custom aluminum sailboat. Will a hybrid power system allow us to achieve the passages we're planning from Europe to the Arctic Circle as well as long ocean passages around the world? We examine our power usage from past voyages made on previous boats and talk to the crew of S/V Delos about their experiences with electric cooking.
