This 3rd video is from Spring 2021 after we upgraded the controller from the small Phaserunner to the ASI BAC2000 device, allowing us to run at the full 5kW power levels and characterize the energy consumption curve right up to hull speed (6 knots, 11 kph).
Our next focus after this will be a first-order solar installation to keep the batteries charging automatically on longer summer trips, so stay tuned for constant updates.
