At approximately 19:00 UTC on Saturday 21st November, British Skipper Alex Thomson notified his team on shore of a possible structural issue onboard the HUGO BOSS boat. At the time, Thomson was located approximately 800 miles east of Rio de Janeiro in the South Atlantic ocean, and was 13 days into the Vendée Globe round-the-world…

For immediate release: Thursday 5th November “This race has consumed me for the past 20 years” British sailor Alex Thomson is just days away from beginning a sporting challenge widely regarded as one of the toughest in the world today. The 46-year-old from Gosport, Hampshire will depart on Sunday (8th November) onboard his HUGO BOSS…

Lehdistötiedote 25.9.2020 Rakenteilla oleva vene on Suomessa valmistettava sähköinen 68-jalkainen Café Racer. Javier Jaudenesin sunnittelema vene on reilut 20 metriä pitkä ja 5,5 metriä leveä. Ympäristöajattelu leviää kaikille tasoille, myös purjeveneiden ehdottomaan luksusluokkaan. Baltic Yachtsin uusin projekti on kiistattoman vihreä, mutta silti rajun suorituskykyinen jahti. Café Racer 68 ilmentää Baltic Yachtsin jatkuvaa pyrkimystä vähentää sekä…

Electric propulsion allows for much greater freedom in boat design. If the design’s form function is weight reduction, an electric propulsion system can be much lighter and fulfil all the propulsion needs. Electric propulsion allows for many more systems to be supported by less weight and tech space. It also enables the required components to…

Another huge advantage of electric propulsion, specifically Oceanvolt, is in how service and support can be much quicker and more comprehensive. Because everything is talking together and integrated through the Remote Service Interface (RSI), almost every possible issue can be seen through diagnostic software and services. Anywhere in the world where the vessel can get…

A properly designed and installed high Reserve Capacity (RC) battery bank, when combined with a complete power management system and an electric auxiliary propulsion system, gives many new functions and increases the usability of all vessel systems. The user can have a complete picture of the vessel’s power use, generation and remaining RC especially when…

There are orders of magnitude less complexity in an electric motor (motor) than in a traditional fossil fuelled internal combustion engine (engine). Because of the highly reduced complexity of motors, breakdowns are far less frequent. Maintenance is a tiny fraction, therefore delivering much lower cost of ownership than a traditional engine driven system. Especially for…

The best value can be realized when designing vessels, and identifying existing vessels, where sailing and hull performance will optimize electric propulsion and the ability to regenerate while under sail. The complete system will combine with solar and/or wind inputs to allow for completely self-sustaining vessels while underway or moored. The hydrogeneration allowed by Oceanvolt…

Understanding the needs and numbers is very important, and there are many misconceptions around power comparisons. The old way was HorsePower (HP) and now we are talking about kilowatts (kW). HP is a marketing number that is based on the engine’s maximum power over time. This HP number is not completely worthless as it allows…

From a design standpoint electric propulsion is more in-line with a sailboat’s form functions, enhancing both the sailing and motoring experience. Quicker access to power, concise control and comfort all lead to higher user enjoyment, more frequent use of the vessel and ultimately market growth for sailing as a whole. The helm’s ability to start…

Properly designed and installed electric auxiliary propulsion is a far superior propulsion system for sailing vessels than a traditional internal combustion engine. It also replaces the entire power storage and management systems on board with a much more capable, higher capacity and completely integrated whole vessel power system. The higher initial cost does not tell…

Oceanvolt a leading supplier of hybrid electric power & propulsion systems to the boating industry has announced the appointment of Tommi Lassila as their new CEO.

To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the first round the world voyage, Jimmy Cornell is preparing to sail the historic route of the first circumnavigation achieved by Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano. In fact, the Basque sailor should be credited with the first round the world voyage, as he sailed with Magellan from the…
