Our last trip of the year was also the bumpiest

After a fantastic time in Grado it was time to leave for our boats winter home. As the trip was in November, the sea was pretty rough from the previous nights storm! We also had to go a little short than usual because the afternoon was predicted to be cloudy, and having a solar powered catamaran me...

A Winter’s trip using solar power

At the end of October we had a day where the rain finally stopped, so we took a 20 mile trip from Monfalcone to Grado. The solar panels didn't put out nearly as much power, so I used less throttle, but it was still more than enough to make it a configurable trip. We spent 10 days in Grado wa...

With our boat in the marina we decided to go exploring on our electric dinghy. I also cover what an amazing range our dinghy has. It's huge!

Trapped on our boat because Grado flooded over!

I woke up this morning to a lot of lights and sirens. Went back to sleep but when the sun came out I saw what it was all about. A combination of very high tides with a storm surge raised the water well over the harbour wall height.

Arriving to Venice on my solar powered boat!

We spent 5 days motoring from just south of Pula to Venice, around 150 nautical miles, which is 280 kilometres or 173 normal miles. Considering that we had wind directly in the nose for 3 of those days, and that it was our first long trip on the boat I was very happy with the way the solar electric ...
How fast can our electric catamaran motor… forever!?!

How fast can our electric catamaran motor… forever!?!

In this video we do some performance testing, and answer the question of how fast we could go 24/7/365, running on batteries overnight, and charging them up again on the day. We also anchor further offshore than ever before. How do you think that turned out?
Sailing in Italy all going well until we hit our first snag

Sailing in Italy all going well until we hit our first snag

We sailed (I think solar powered travel counts as sailing even if you don't use the sails!) from the Slovenian border to a big beach resort and had our first minor issue just as we were getting ready to anchor.

Heading north for our longest trip so far on our solar yacht

The weather was looking good for some time so we decided to head north from our anchorage in Stoja to a really beautiful town called Rovinj. This was our longest trip so far, so there were some nerves involved...

The final step in going completely off grid

With our solar we already make electricity, and power for the motors, now we also have a watermaker running so we can make fresh water out of sea water. If I could catch fish and grow some veggies I'd never need to leave the boat 😁 I bought a water maker kit from it was one of the best priced...

Our DIY solar powered yacht works!

After 4 months of pulling everything apart, and 8 months of rebuilding my 46 year old boat now has a modern interior and a really high tech propulsion system. Since fitting the solar panels I've never plugged anything in, and we use power just like we would in a house. There's no thoughts...

Yet another electric motor, and a big mess.

I've bought another electric outboard motor. This one should be dual purpose. mainly as a dingy motor, but I think it could also move the main boat, although very slowly...

My boat has become a power station!

My solar is mounted, and I just finished hooking it up. 3200W of power which should run all the electrics and the electric motors quite happily 😁
