Very cool. Call me when they get up to 50 kts.

30Kts. on solar is darn impressive and if affordable will take the boating market by storm.

100 % carbon fibre (not inexpensive) !!! :smash:

"base on a winning racerboat" umm unless they are talking about the little
solar race boat at start of the video.... I don't think so. Looks 1930s at the bow.
Damn sexy though.

Pure solar ?? Oh wait until that cloud passes over so we can get going again.
You can have your choice of either 30 lead acid marine batteries or 1000
PC batteries. (That's why I ROFL everytime someone calls electric cars green)

Look at the problems that F1 is having with KERS. Run away battery heat
causes fires and a pit engineer tossed on his rear after a big shock.

Electricity and water. I'll wait.

I agree, 30kts amazed me when I read it.

Nice but those solar panels would take a beating in no time. You’re going to have to walk on the bow of a 30+ boat and staying on that little stripe in pitching seas is not going to happen. Nice concept though.
