Converting sailboat Tranquility to electric propulsion using ElectricYacht.com system
This is a video of the conversion of my sailbaot to a 48 vDC electric motor using the ElectricYacht.com system. I charge my boat using solar, wind and regan for a completely green vehicle.

What is the top speed and range using the electric motor?
very interesting, i want one too.. Thanx for the video.
Thats awesome…
very nice! please, put more videos about it! tks
COOL!!! Does the trojan batteries work better than lithium-ion phosphates? They also looked really heavy! How long does it take for them to recharge? I really like what you did w/ the conversion!
No more buying fuel or parts breaking left & right.
Good job bro.

Nice Job, shes beautiful
Great video, I started my Tartan 27 conversion with both electric drive and an airx wind gen. My friend is a machinist is making the reduction drive for me. What boat is that? Looks like an Alberg…just too cool…
@Odziz Sailboats have a displacement hull so their top speeds tend to be around 5 to 8 knots, (longer the boat the higher the speed) making them perfect for electric conversion. Tranquility’s top speed was around 5 knots with the electric motor, which is about what the gas motor provided. Sailboats are for sailing, so the motor was just for putzing around the harbor or getting off the mooring. I had a range of 20 nautical miles at 4 knots to get home in case of no wind.
What is the total weight of the battery pack?
@tprdfh51 The weight of my battery pack 528 pounds. You can use a smaller battery pack, I had eight T125 batteries, for 240 AH at 48volts. I wanted a 20 nautical mile range at 4knots. In hind sight it far exceeded my actual use.
