Right, it's of course shown by iLAN boats such as EarthRacer, that stabilised monohulls can be oceangoing. So, what's the low-down on...
I think I will try to summarise what I believe I've learnt sofar: 1. For wave conditions up to around 0,5 metres, the long-and-narrow...
Hydrofoils sound really interesting for lightweight electroboats. What are the drawbacks? What about seakeeping? How does a foiler perform in...
According to the article, a 40 kWh battery would cost 2.000 USD. That's 50 USD per kWh, to be compared with Lithium at 1.000 to 1.500 USD per kWh....
Right. In other words, a cyclist would comfortably beat a sculler - even on a hull optimised for sculling, in conditions optimised for sculling...
Thanx for the link. So, on the typical rowing distance of 2.000 m, Lance would take around 4 minutes. To be compared with Drysdale's single...
Hello, I've tried to get hold of Michlet/Godzilla, but it is no longer available for download on the cyberiad site. 1. Does anyone know if...
OT I just found this battery from Torqeedo, http://www.torqeedo.com/en/hn/products/power/technical-data-measures.html. [IMG] At 2 kWh and 19...
So, with a small electric motor and some modest battery capacity (say 1 kWh of Lithium batteries), one could have a really fast little boat with...
I agree that a true comparison should have each hull optimised for the respective propulsion, and that putting the pedal/prop on a scull hull...
A friend of mine, who is a former olympic sculler, pointed out that the body movement constricts lung volume/oxygen uptake, and that you must...
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Pahoa: [IMG] The Pahoa is 630 cm, so substantially shorter and, I guess, quite a bit heavier than the V11....
It seems there's almost nothing you haven't considered, and in many cases actually tried and tested. Your generosity and patience in sharing this...
