June 2023 was the scene of the 24th edition of the Varend Corso (Fishing Parade). As Robust-MT Marine Technology BV, we simply had to participate. Not only is it a fantastic opportunity to network locally and increase our visibility, it's also a perfect fit for who we are and what we stand for. So much fun on the water, local traditions, sustainability, and innovation. We're a perfect fit.
For this edition, we converted two scouting lily boats into solar boats. In each case, an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 plus with an extra battery in a beautiful set of bags and an ePropulsion Spirit solar panel with charger .
mount the solar panel ePropulsion Spirit . This engine and boat seem made for each other ( Scouting Nederland , are you paying attention?).
Given the opportunity, we decided to really push the ePropulsion Spirit to its limits by towing four dinghies weighing approximately 1000kg each. Unbelievable, even this far exceeded expectations. Not fast, but very consistent and without noise, vibration, or anything else.
During the Floating Parade, the ePropulsion Spirit solar panel far exceeded our expectations . Because the Parade moves slowly, the motors could operate continuously at 100-200W. The weather was also ideal for summer, and the panels were completely exposed to the sun. As a result, the net consumption was often less than 100W. The motors were able to sail the entire Parade on a single battery for all four days. We only used the spare batteries for the return trip in the evening/night.
For those who want to sail quietly and for long periods of time, the combination of an ePropulsion Spirit with a solar panel truly the ultimate solution.
