Interesting boat. Would love to see data for the trip : Solar efficiency - hours of genny running etc - power consumption / battery performance etc. i note the system uses a FP generator - which would not be my first choice for such a vital component in this install !! - they need servicing rather too frequently even when all is well.
Thanks for your interest, I've given some info in a comment.
Mediterranean wind, there are only two wind speeds in the Med. Four or forty.
Intriguing choice not to wear the Jersey Red Ensign, which is the normal custom at sea
How did you like the Pegasus as a cruiser?
Don't have detailed data but the solar gave us about half a kw, the prop regeneration gave us about 1.5 KW. when sailing above 6 knots. The gen is 11 KW and charged batteries at about 12% per hour. Running the electric drives around 4kw we motored at about 5 knots. Check out pegasus-yachts.com/ for more info. Interested to hear what generator would be your choice?
Actualy - the model of FP is a good one - Kabota engine etc & specced well for the install. My comment was poorly based on outdated FP experience - of a honda engined model probably now 15 + years old. Subscribed !
At 5 knots and 4 kw how far could you travel on. Battery in your opinion ?
Quiet yes of course but range NO!!! If you are sailing around the coast then electric is an alternative but if you want to do longer trips then I wouldn't go for electric. I once had a boat for a weekend with electric propulsion and I don't want any more except for hybrid.
