| Thanks for the reply, the knots do not seem to drop down all that much, is there that much more power required to maintain full power?
I am more interested in the performance than speed per say. Let me clarify: I read in one post where the drives had a bit of an issue going into a 20 knot head wind. The hull drag is the hull drag, and you will not be able to do much about that without doing as you stated. But in say head winds I believe that extra power that does not seem to be available would make a big difference.
Just wondering how much more power would be required to run them at extended periods at full. I am sure there is a reason why Lagoon kept the power down, I am maybe thinking fuel economy of a larger genset would cancel out any gains made by the hybrid.
I will be heavy, this is going to home for me, speed really not an issue, I am a firm believer in having all available H.P available though. Again thank you for your time I am just trying to learn the vessel a bit. |
