Our dreams are coming true, because we are going to make our catamaran an electric hybrid boat!! In the port/guest hull there will be a hybrid system with a diesel engine and electric engine, and in our owner’s hull will be a single electric engine.

This would not be possible without the help of Max Cruise, and we are deeply appreciative. Not only are they working with us to develop a hybrid system which will work with one of our existing Yanmar diesel engines, but the remainder of the system is a gift from the company. WOW – we are speechless!!

Stay tuned to find out how this system will work in our best interests as we cruise, as well as an in depth look into regeneration – or, making power while under sail.

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
