“Crossing the ocean in an electric sailboat was so enjoyable compared to a sailboat with a diesel engine, I would never want to cross the ocean with a diesel engine ever again (this is pretty similar to how most Tesla owner feels about the idea of going back to driving a gas car).”
– Graham Balch, Arcona 435Z
It’s been one month since we crossed the Atlantic Ocean in two electric yachts, including the Arcona 435Z (Z for zero emission) with Oceanvolt’s first production Servoprop system with advanced hydroregeneration and it’s worth looking back on our trip to reflect on what it was like to sail across the ocean in an electric sailboat.
