Looks like a slightly enlarged version of Dragonfly (Chris White's outrigger) and yes it is a fantastic light air boat! (I have #26) Can this boat be easily righted? Looks like it can. and is the pod sealed? Did it race?

Where's the clip of this boat shunting? Take a look at the comments, nobody can figure out if this boat is a good idea or not, looks freakishly overpowered for a cruising boat but may be an extraordinary racing machine given the right captain, crew and locale, I don't know the Inside Passage, firsthand, or shunting rigs, myself, but I'd love to see this boat shunt.

Doesn't shunt, it tacks

@@chrislatchem1854 nope it definitely shunts. As someone who has designed and built a couple of Proas I would agree she is freakishly overpowered. No multi-hull should be flying a hull with 3 people on the rail in that wind speed. Fine of course if that's all you want to sail in but even fully reefed she would be a handful in any real breeze.

Given that this video is dated, most is still relevant. Rechargeable batteries, via solar panels and wind turbine. Run out of diesel away from shore you're hooped. Check out Sailing Uma or Rig Doctor. Each system has pros and cons. There are more parts on an internal combustion engine alone than the complete electric system. More parts means more maintenance and more break downs.

Awesome set up for a sailing vessel. Wonder how long it will be before an affordable trawler with an electric motor can cross the Atlantic. Looking to buy a boat in the next year, but I have a feeling it's only about 5 years away that electric boats will outperform diesel. Electric cars are already outperforming gas cars.

In part one you said the motor produces about the same horsepower as the diesel did so why didn't you add a larger motor (10%, 20%, 50+%) to reduce the strain (if any) or was it cost? ;-) I'm guessing, unless there's a significant tide, while at anchor you'll get little to no recharge? That's a motor sailor so the use of the motor will only be needed (hopefully) in the harbor, while a power boat will be running most of the time (unless anchored/docked)? I'm guessing a power boat will require additional systems (generator, wind generator and/ or solar) to maintain a useful battery(s) charge?
