First Cruise 4.0 going in the multihull Current Sunshine
Saturday, 20 June 2009
Current Sunshine is now equipped with a Cruise 4.0, giving a maximum speed of close to 7 knots, but more importantly a cruising speed of 4.5 knots at 1500W. At that speed Current Sunshine is able to motor for 5-6 hours.
What is most interesting about this installation is the fact that battery-outboard weight is now less than the previous petrol-outboard weight. Further, Current Sunshine is equipped with 500W of solar panels which gives Chris a few hours of free motoring every day. No need to carry petrol on board anymore.
