[Intentional Drifter]

Quiet Riot --

Based on what others have experienced and the write up in Multihulls World, I have several questions/items I would like to see covered (unfortunately, I can't get to this, either):

1. After verifying that the propulsion banks are fully charged, how long under motoring until the genset kicks in? What was the motoring, manouvering, cruising speed, sea/wind state, etc.?
2. Under sail, how close will she sail to the wind? Note conditions, sea state, etc.
3. When tacking, is it necessary to backwind the headsail? Does she stall out going through the eye of the wind?
4. Regeneration: does it work, at all? Once sailing and the motors are off, how much regeneration is occuring, at what sailing speed?
5. Where are the motor controllers located? Are they vulnerable to salt water ingress? If so, is it possible to protect them better?

Thanks!
