Gone with the Wynns · vidéo

Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A 54-foot Windelo catamaran, the *Second Star*, utilizes a serial hybrid propulsion system featuring two 20-kilowatt Bell Marine electric motors, a 53.8-kilowatt-hour battery bank, and an 18-kilowatt generator.2:58 During a two-week trial in the Bahamas, the vessel averaged roughly 30 minutes of generator run-time per day while supporting heavy electrical loads, including water making and laundry.11:34 The electric motors provide a cruising speed of 5.8 knots at 5 kilowatts each, with a maximum speed of 7.5 knots under full throttle.6:55 The boat’s 4.5 kilowatts of solar array effectively maintains the battery bank, though the hardtop solar panels experience shading from the mast and rigging.4:38 The forward cockpit design offers intuitive sail handling and visibility, while the open-concept layout reduces the need for air conditioning.3:39 The carbon fiber tender lacks the stability and dryness of comparable models, and the manual dinghy davit system requires significant physical effort to operate.15:48
