Why Alubat is Integrating 48V Technology Across Their Sailboat Range

Aluminum sailboats are rapidly gaining popularity in North America, and Alubat is leading the charge by integrating 48V technology across their range—from the Ovni 370 to the 490. So is the traditional 12V system becoming a thing of the past for serious offshore cruisers? In this episode, Rob Poirier of Alubat America sits down with Luc Jurien, CEO of the Alubat Shipyard, to discuss why 48-volt electrical systems have become the new standard for their aluminum sailboats. We explore the advantages of the 48V system including weight and space savings by eliminating the need for separate battery banks for bow thrusters and windlasses, increased efficiency, and a move towards the 'silent cruiser' experience by replacing generators with large capacity alternators.
