![]() No maintenance of the motor is required for 3,000 hours.Īt anchor, the boat has an open bow with seating, a wet bar and sofas for six passengers placed around a table. However, a Candela C-8 CC uses 1.2 kWh per nautical mile, its single 100hp pod motor allows the bus to operate at a cost of less than 10 dollars for a full battery charge. Traditional 28/29-foot deep-vee boats are equipped with a pair of 400hp outboards which use from 1.5 to 2.5 litres per nautical mile at 20-25 knots which is equivalent to 15-20 kWh of energy per nautical mile. The Candela C-POD motor converts stored electricity in the batteries to thrust and propel the boat forward. Once this complicated system works 100% – which it does after 8 years of R&D – it provides a completely calm and steady ride even in chop and wind.” ![]() “Regulating the foil 100 times per second keeps the boat stable, even in wind and waves. All this data is fed into the Flight controller which then adjusts the angle of attack and twists the hydrofoil to control it on roll and ride height. “Other sensors, such as a gyro and accelerometer – measures where the boat is in space, on the x,y,z axis. It requires a computer – the Flight controller – which measures the ‘terrain’ – waves – ahead of the boat to assess how high the boat is flying. Once the boat is flying, it’s an inherently unstable vessel, just like quadcopter drones or some jet fighters. Hasselskog says: “It uses the same system as the Candela C-8 Daycruiser, and same technical platform.
