Since 2020, Newport Electric Boats has been making electric propulsion systems that are practical and affordable, and ideal for sailboats.
Sailing electric is clean, quiet, zero emissions and zero maintenance. We offer battery options for day sailing, weekend cruising, and longer journeys. Our cockpit computer provides a detailed status of the system, with up to date with power usage, and remaining run-time estimates.
What are the advantages of electric motors in sailboats?
- Improved Efficiency
- Silent Operation
- Ease of Use
- Low Maintenance
- Improved Maneuverability
- Reduced Emissions
We use an AC induction motor to maximize energy efficiency. Our motor incorporates a specialized gearbox engineered to provide safe and reliable torque conversion between the motor and propeller. This allows the electric motor to run at optimal speeds while keeping the propeller in the RPM range best suited for pushing the boat.
The battery management system, the motor controller, and the battery charger all communicate to a dedicated computer and display.
