The world of cruising yachts is dominated by diesel power, but before diesel came on the scene there were boats powered by electric motors. These were boats designed for rivers and lakes, but the concept of electric power for seagoing boats was a non-starter because the theory was that electricity and water do not mix. And when they do mix, water always wins. All that has changed. Modern technology and the new greener world in which we live have re-energized the future of electric propulsion or a combination of electric and diesel.
