Electric Wheel

I see Sailnet caught on to our posts about alternative propulsion in their favorites column. Discussions about electric motors in sail boats a couple of weeks ago. Personally, I think it is the wave of the future. Instant starting, reverse without that nasty grind for some boats. And quiet clean running. There are two cars out on the road now that are setting the path to elecric powered systems. We''ll see what happens???????????

Electric Wheel

I checked out the wheel in Annapolis. Looks fantastic. Only drawback for me now is the price...maybe when production increases, price will come down.
