Interesting. I've been out only 7 times this season but my charger keeps careful track of watts into the battery and I have used about 75 cents worth of electricity at the local rates. Would have been close to $25 in diesel.

My sense - Onne and Tenley have a couch. In other words, a life with a whole lot more schedule and commitments. Chatting with Onne a few years back he loved that when cruising they had the most amazing views when they woke up each morning, it was like why would anyone buy a particular waterfront property when you could have a boat and access to an entire coastline. During the same conversation, though, came the topic of consistent sailing conditions in New England. So, you're likely correct, it's not the boat. Onne and Tenley likely decided that in their world (and most of ours) if the kids are home, and it's time to cruise, to hell with the weather, all aboard the goose...

You mean meaningless because you should be sailing? I think that's a pretty impractical expectation but I was just pointing out the day-to-day costs for the energy to run the boat. Certainly the comparison to conventional diesel systems is much more complex than that. I can tell you that my system cost about half of what the replacement diesel would have and the only deficit of significance for me is shorter range (25 miles on battery Vs 120 on a tank of diesel) which is not of consequence for the way I use the boat. It would be for more serious cruising.
I don't know what you mean by " the environmental consequences of abandoning one type of energy production for another". And with an electric motor you are not limited to getting your charging power from a "solar grid" whatever that is. I am reasonably sure that the efficiency of the electric system such as I have is much higher than the diesel system. Probably 2 to 3 times? So there is a net benefit there. I am also reasonably certain that the production of my system components was lower in cost and environmental impact to that of the diesel engine I would have installed as a replacement. And My LiFePo battery has the potential to last 30 years (likely won't). It is also more recyclable than other batteries including lead acid and Lion.
yI wouldn't sat the electric drive is better. It is different. Has advantages and disadvantages. What is best for anyone depends on the way they use the boat.
I posted lots of info on my electric drive system here:
