Thanks in part to the price per barrel factor, electric propulsion systems for sailboats have been gaining popularity with sailors over the past several years.

Electric Yachts is one of the premier and cutting edge manufacturers of such systems. Bill Tomlinson will be here to explain some of the other favorable characteristics. Electric propulsion systems are clean, environmentally friendly and as quiet as when under sail.

Modern brushless motors are sparkless, minimizing fire hazard. Full motor torque becomes available immediately- from zero to top RPM. With no actual transmission, reverse is smooth and responsive for easier handling when docking.

Recharging the batteries can come from shore power, wind generators, solar panels or even the propeller shaft itself while under sail. Just leave the ignition switch “on” and the shifter in neutral for free power through regeneration.

Ride the wave of the future with Electric Yachts!
