But it does have an outboard... the mighty 9.8hp 4 stroke Tohatsu! I guess it could cross the Tasman, I've seen 28ft vessels doing that trip, or sailing up to the Whitsundays from Brisbane, this old gal is 22ft. The longer the hull, the faster the speed it's capable of. Having no prior sailing experience.... I dunno!

Remember if you use lead acid batteries you'll need to vent them to atmosphere as well. Also if you use lead acid batteries for them to live longer than 30 seconds you should only be draining them down to 50% SOC (ie 50% of its rating is actually usable if you want it to live). |

I've got to look at different types of batteries for the best system, such as deep cycle batteries.

A removable stainless gantry reaching over the stern is usually the best safest place to mount solar panels on bigger yachts, I've seen several smaller ones hinging them off the pushpit rails.
