Why not go for a yacht?

hxhdfj ifzir st c Il y a 2 jours

I like the idea of an electric sailboat (in fact I was talking about it a few weeks ago), but the 'green' agenda has zero value to me. The value comes from: 1. Extending your range if you're out of diesel 2. Recharge from solar to preserve diesel for emergencies 3. Redundant propulsion system 4. Presumably less maintenance/less hours on the diesel Et cetera. I think electric should be combined with diesel, for the best value. Perhaps a diesel motor that can belt drive a generator if necessary. I want increased redundancy/range/ease of maintenance. So this thing has real value, but the salesman if focusing on fantasy horseshit.

John Galt Il y a 3 jours

Yahhhh but you cant expect an honest review. They are helping with sales and thats it. I dont like the boat but I like the idea.

Gary B Il y a 4 jours

I am no tree hugger, but I like the idea of not being dependent on the infrastructure. So it begs the question: Why are you cooking with propane and not induction? Also; twin helms, twin props; why not twin rudders?

Sailing Uma Il y a 4 jours

Induction would be an owners choice. And single rudders are better. Twin just complicate things.

DaveB Il y a 4 jours

Add a generator amd a decemt sized tank for backup, and add some personality to the cabin design then it would be the perfect boat.

Sailing Uma Il y a 4 jours

Sounds like great upgrades for a future owner who want to live on-board full time. But not everyone wants a setup like that. Which is why this boat doesn’t have it.

Jim Lee Il y a 5 jours

It's Mando!

Hal Butler Il y a 5 jours

What is the life of these motors?

Sailing Uma Il y a 5 jours

Most of the main components are rated for 100,000 hrs. But things like the zincs, seals, oil etc all need to be replaced every year or two.

Edmir Silva Il y a 5 jours

Rough price range? :-)

Jeff Logue Il y a 7 jours

Me not being a sailor, why two steering stations 4 feet apart?

Paul Mahowald Il y a 13 heures

You need to be able to sit on Starboard side or port side and you want the middle open for travel from stern to cabin

well done Guys ! Nice video , awesome production !!

Leon Il y a 9 jours

Its simply greenswashing bullshit to market this as a great thing for the environment. I mean yeah, you probably saved 200 liters of diesel per year, but then again its a fiberglass boat that practically cant be recycled and will end up on the ocean floor or in a landfill. If this was about anything else than the ease of use electric systems bring to the table, they would be selling aluminium or wooden yachts.

Nina-Mae Forde Il y a 9 jours

Scott Tillinghast Il y a 10 jours

Can the battery regen be used to slow down a sailboat by changing prop shape?

Scott Tilden Il y a 10 jours

Dedicated nav stations are like 8 track tapes, thing of the past. Ipads and computers can do all the navigation. I still like paper charts but computers are taking over. Just because it is electric does not mean it does anything more for the environment. Where do all those batteries go when they can't be charged anymore ? Right to a landfill with all their toxic properties.

Ed Ozz Il y a 10 jours

Samuel K. Tennis Il y a 11 jours

Do the glass boat manufacturers use Epoxy the way you do, or do they just use more fiberglass? Or am I having a fifties moment and is Epoxy ALWAYS the adhesive with Fiberglass, and does it only describe the matt?

Derek Davis Il y a 13 jours

Twin engine is genius, balance it out.

Derek Davis Il y a 13 jours

Also maybe some weight savings as well, no fuel tank, idk what batteries and motors weigh.

dsd Dala Il y a 13 jours

The reason so many sailers convert an old boat to ONE electric engine, is because many of us are not privileged White people. We don't have $300,000 for a fancy new boat.

Sailing Uma Il y a 13 jours

Wow... just.... wow.

Sailing Uma Il y a 13 jours

Right... or buy a $3,000 salvaged boat and convert it to electric for $100 ... if your budget is smaller (like we have) . Everyone has a budget.

Kimble Mooney Il y a 13 jours

Great Stuff guys - now for the all electric Cat!

Kimble Mooney Il y a 12 jours

How about you guys being the pioneers - one of the light Cats like the Balance 526 with Green Yachts?

Sailing Uma Il y a 13 jours

There are a few out there already, but mainly day sailor/charter boats. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for a viable one to come to market. When there is, we’ll do our best to get on-board for a test sail.

Boomer Il y a 15 jours

What is the energy density of Of the battery versus fuel tanks versus range versus weight. Because I've been out where was dead calm I've had the engine 500 miles to a port.

chris watts Il y a 15 jours

Hmmmm. Two motors. Twice the work to fix when something breaks....

Sailing Uma Il y a 15 jours

Accept their electric, so aside from replacing zincs on haul out, you don't really need to fix anything.

John Howell Il y a 15 jours

I sailed on an electric yacht on Lake Taupo a few years ago. Was so quiet. The air was too light though so even though they raised the main, it was still on electric power for most of the trip, but you never would know 8)

Single line reefing is not favoured by a lot of us, too much friction, too much to go wrong in stressful times..

soooooooo you could be better evaluators and consultants if you were given a hull of your own to "study" on etc, I think they should look into this, and We LOVE you guys, Hugs From Frozen Canada. Ohhh and a case or two of wine or SOMEONE might get cranky, ROFL....;-)

Looks simular to the oceanis 41 and the 51, slight differences... but the topside mold and n other things are identical

Sailing Uma Il y a 17 jours

Lol. Not even close.

funnyglow Il y a 17 jours

The scenery is so beautiful and stunning.Very enjoyable! Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!

Ms Seasailor Il y a 18 jours

Absolutely dam true!!! The king of the future of sailing!! Thank you all for bringing sailing to the future! I love this philosopy

arktseytlin Il y a 18 jours

and if run out of energy can still use diesel generator just in case... the future in boats is definitely electric.

arktseytlin Il y a 18 jours

they should pack a Tesla battery into the keel; 100kwh or so, that will be aplenty, and in the right spot

arktseytlin Il y a 18 jours

@Sailing Uma LOL 380 to be exact :)

Sailing Uma Il y a 18 jours

And 300 volts....

arktseytlin Il y a 18 jours

The interior is kind of sterile though...

Sailing Uma Il y a 18 jours

Of course. It’s a brand new boat without an owner. It’s like an empty house. It’s a blank canvas.

matt page Il y a 19 jours

you are going to need it with the coming depression and gas prices so high they won't be able to make electric stuff

f0t0b0y Il y a 19 jours

That boats freaking gorgeous.

AYVABTU Il y a 20 jours

Ok but where is the post trip sit down about the pros and cons? Don't get me wrong, I loved the vid and the boat and the idea, but I'd really like a post trip review.

Vaughan Gill Il y a 20 jours

Hi Guys. I like the idea of "all electric". But what happens if you are at anchor for a week and reliant on battery power only ? How long will the batteries power up the boat equipment ?

Sailing Uma Il y a 20 jours

You could comfortably stay on anchor for about 7-10 days on just the batteries alone. But if a future owner is looking for a livaboard, then definitely some solar would be spec’d in the build. 500-1000W would be plenty.

Toby aspiring Il y a 24 jours

andy schuster Il y a 5 jours

To answer the question whether the hydro regeneration effects boat speed at 8-9 knots... Drag due to wave making and boat motions is way more than that of the propellers, when you are traveling at or near hull speed.

andy schuster Il y a 5 jours

What is the minimum boat speed for hydo regeneration? For example if I'm on a mooring, with a 1 knot tidal current, will the system recharge the batteries? For example, I sail the boat over the weekend and then tie up to a permanent mooring in a tidal estuary, will the battery recharge? Or I go sailing in light air area at less than 4 knots (chesapeak bay or long island sound) in the summer, will the batteries be recharged.

andy schuster Il y a 5 jours

Do you know what CACA MEANS in Spanish?

Kris Szabo Il y a 24 jours

Tommy Petraglia Il y a 25 jours

A paid promotional, for which I hope Dan and Kika were handsomely rewarded, for a boat not nearly as cool, charming, neat, versatile and livable as their own Uma, in a price range not nearly affordable for most of their viewers. What endears us to Sailing Uma is the unpretentious do it yourself way they've enabled to live and share with us the live aboard cruising sailing life. As soon as they buried the rail I had seen enough and was out. Sorry to say I wasn't impressed. Gimme Dan crawling around aft below installing the self steering vane any day

John Rushworth Il y a 25 jours

It’s 10 years since I converted my sail boat to electric and at last it’s good to here the views aired in the video becoming mainstream.

johannes lidenberg Il y a 26 jours

You're lovely people and do great video work. But it kinda feels like the videos are more very slicky made advertisements lately. The story seems missing. Hope you both have fun anyhow!

Carter Quillen Il y a 26 jours

Nice boat but I'm not impressed with the "Ikea" interior. It just lacks any "warmth" and seems bland. (IMO)

Fee Binnekade Il y a 27 jours

Off grid all except for the gas cooking stove! Why not use induction?

Sailing Uma Il y a mois

Jason and Nikki have a genset and two diesel motors. Plus a lot more solar than you can fit on a monohull. It’s definitely possible. There are other electric boats out there doing it too. But that is up to an owner to spec when their boat is being built. This is a show boat. It has no owner. So it’s a blank slate and only has the minimum. This video is actually good proof why the Salona has a gas stove. We love The Wynns so this isn’t a comment against them, just realize that they have the same amount of lithium batteries as we do, accept we need them for our motor and they only use them for house loads. When they need to motor they can use their diesels. They also have 5X more solar and are in the tropics. We have an alcohol stove and a wood stove for a reason. Our 400W of solar isn’t enough for induction and Air con. You could probably fit 1kW of solar on the Salona of you we’re really clever, but that would be barely enough to ditch the gas stove and heat. The regen would help a bit, but we recommend enough solar to run your house loads AND enough wind. Then the regen is for the motors. You’ll get 2 out of three and never at full capacity so it will average out to enough over time. But that is only of a future owner wants to live full time off grid. Most folks don’t. They just have a boat for weekends or races and don’t need 1000W of solar or care too much about cooking.

Iztok Šušteršič Il y a mois

Very nice boat, nice and enjoyable presentation. For longer passages solar panels are must. It would be nice to have hard top with solar panels option. Otherwise I know Salona shipyard very well and must say that they were open for fresh ideas since their establishment. Congratulations!

Theo de Coo Il y a mois

great video and nice boat,. watching this in my boat from the Netherlands

Ed Dijkstra Il y a mois

Nice, and I see a lot of benefits. But what I did expect, was cooking electric too (induction). One of the troubles getting everywhere is, that the connection for gasbottles in many countries are different. In that case you are only using electric and thus more independent. For the rest, I loved it.

Coffee Time Il y a mois

This is a smart move for Solana. It's better than any commercial. Love the boat a lot!

Left me smiling, as always. Not much mention of batteries, which is fine since nowadays we have batteries good enough to 'take for granted' somewhat. Years ago, the old lead-acid batteries were right 'down' there with the diesel, etc. Awesome video, thanks.

MarkoCloud Il y a mois

Salonas are very easy to sail and perform very well. It's nice to see electric propulsion in one. However from my experience the boom is really long and the sail goes almost to the end of the stern and you would really need to have quite the overhang if you wanted to fit any solar on the back.

D|M Photo Il y a mois

Had never heard of the brand before so mission accomplished! I've been skeptical of electric but a purpose built boat with tons of regenerative capacity and huge battery banks definitely changes the game a bit. Twin engines is a nice benefit too...maybe the scales are tipping.

Dona Cardenas Il y a mois

😍🎉🔜➡️➡️ Hi guys, love your vlogs. Dont comment much but this was a great one(like all the others) but I had a question. We are a family of 4 humans and 2 fur babies so we are looking at catamarans for size, comfort and space. Do you think it’s possible to retrofit a cat to electric? New ones are waaaaaay above our pay grade.

Sailing Uma Il y a mois

yes BUT it very much depends 100% on the sailboat itself (monohull or catamaran) You can technically put an electric motor on any boat, but the higher the performance, the better it would work because the less you would need to use the motor. Most sailboats just don't perform well enough to compliment just having an electric motor, in which case a hybrid is a more viable option.

Now then two things that would make this a great sailing boat are; Double rudder system and a variable depth keel for those shallow waters. So that the draft could be between 0.85m and 2.45m, just a thought??

Sailing Uma Il y a mois

Then the boat would loose all it's sailing performance. A deep bulb keel and a large single rudder are one of the reasons she points so well in very light and heavy wind.

Tom Herfel Il y a mois

presumably with twin motors and ?twin rudders? you can also use propwash to your advantage which you wouldnt be able to do with a single rudder.

Angel L. Matos Il y a mois

Can it be possible to re-gen with one while using the other one.? If the battery bank is split .

Sailing Uma Il y a mois

Not much reason too. Physics doesn’t work that way. Motoring at 5 kts uses, let’s say 6kW of power, the regen at that speed is about 500W.

I was surprised that Graham from Green Yachts didn't mention the noise or rather lack thereof with electric motors as a main selling point. I suspect modern boats have better sound deading but all the ones I grew up sailing were loud enough to be really irritating. When he was talking about "electric makes you sail more" the first thing I thought of was you sailed more, well ok first cause you're a sailor, but also to turn the damn noisy beast of a diesel engine off. Above decks it was bad and below you couldn't hear anyone talk unless you shouted.
