The Adriatic Sailing fleet charges its batteries in marinas via shore connection or via the main engine (alternator) while the vessel is sailing. The vessels are powered by auxiliary outboard engines (petrol). Our vessels mainly sail in the Adriatic Sea and have a high environmental impact, especially in protected areas, nature parks and national parks. Many marinas on islands do not always have access to electricity. With this project we plan to install solar panels and replace existing outboard engines with new electric motors. This would increase the autonomy of the vessel during weeks at sea. The need for electricity from the grid would be significantly reduced, as would the consumption of diesel fuel for the main engine. Gasoline consumption and exhaust emissions from auxiliary outboard engines would be completely eliminated.
