Solo sailing is a daunting prospect, its not for the faint hearted, that's for sure! Claire sailed alone form Cape Town to France in her 32 for long Dreadnaught sailboat, a super low-tech awe inspiring adventure and we were lucky enough to bump into her in a Spanish boatyard and have a natter, this is her story!

Is petrol dead? Electric motors from 7.5Kw up to 35Kw from a well established marine brand. It's taken a while but finally Mercury have gone electric. Powering everything from dinghies up to decent sized boats the Avator's can be used with or without tiller and are compatible with external throttles. The 7.5Kw comes with a removable internal battery and the rest with a modular battery system. Whats not to like? Let us know in the comments!
