A bit of sailing and getting bits and pieces together for the first electric thruster.

We have touched 15kts.  We are becoming familiar with the sheeting water but no modifications to the bows yet. 

Priority is to confirm electric drive has the grunt then remove the outboard transom.  The outboard electrical controls are starting to suffer from their regular drenching. 

Overall we tend to do more sailing and fiddling than making serious progress on the drive units.

Interesting data from Pecadillo.  Puts the Melbourne 18m harry performance a bit more into perspective.  Any progress on the bows or the sails?
