We talk about sailing an electric boat, the conversion from diesel, the cost comparison between repowering with diesel vs electric, cooling systems, regeneration, the Ecostar propeller, easy and difficult boats to convert, and more. We also talk about cruising the Sea of Cortez, the Tuamotu Islands and French Polynesia, and Vancouver Island.
