Interesting project, but for the route I'm on, I'm afraid no battery is giving sufficient power in all kinds of weather.
But, green it is.

I could off course be totally wrong, but I have to state that I have no previous experience with ANY battery powered ships (boats I have experience with, in my bath tub as a child).
