Technical details

Made in Guadeloupe by TIG shipyard, it is aluminum and fitted wooden allowing it to be more than 95% recyclable.


It is equipped with two electric motors of 10 kW each and two parks of 8 batteries each supplying the engines. Each park has 8 batteries of 12 volts / 230 amps divided into two groups of 4 batteries connected in series and each group is connected in parallel. The assembly has a final voltage of 48 volts and 460 amperes. The maximum power of each park is 22 KW allowing in theory if we use the engines at maximum power a battery life of 2 hours. In this case the speed is about 7 knots or 13 km / hour.
In fact the engines are used in 40% of their maximum power to reach a cruising speed of 5 knots or about 10 km / hour. The autonomy is then of more than 5 hours.

The 20 solar panels installed on the roof during the day recharge two batteries parks producing 5 kilowatts / hour. With solar panels batteries are at the end of the day about 65% of their charge which increases their longevity.
