The electric motors will drive the ship achieving 12+ knots when not under sail. The ship will rely on batteries when operating. With motors and generators and batteries, the ship will have a range of 2000 miles +/-. The versatility of this system will enhance the experience of all passengers and crew when a sea.
BAE engineers will meet staff in Sausalito next week to discuss the electrical system requirements with electricians who will accomplish the install. There are at least 3 different systems that must be included according to the director.
