Not recently. We usually have an EPropulsion Spirit 1.0 hanging off the back of our demo boats. These are fine for demos but I would choose something more meaty for cruising. If you're up against wind and/or tide you don't go very fast. The Navy 3.0 would seem perfectly suited to many trailer sailers.

​@@boatsonwheels17 My 22 ft sailboat is around 1300 kg and I am considering if a Spirit 1.0 would be enough for local trips on the lake. I do need go small parts of a channel where I would prefer to reach at least 4 knots speed to keep up with other traffic. The advantage of the Spirit over the 3.0 EVO for me would be easy batteries. I can easily carry two Spirit batteries and can charge them at home. But I think the spirit's power would be on the edge. Currently have a heavy 9.9 four stoke, but rarely go above half throttle.

To be honest, you couldn't really go wrong with overshooting it; that means you have the benefit of increased speed when necessary, or much high low-speed efficiency when you don't. These EPropulsion motors even have a hydrogeneration feature that turns drag from the propellers when not operating (eg wind power) into electrical energy. The higher HP motors produce more electricity when spinning even on a craft that is travelling the same speed.

Sorry about the slow response. I would probably go for Navy 6.0 pods as they're not a lot more expensive and would get you out of trouble better. When conditions permit you can always run them at low power to save the batteries.

i have an Aristocat 30 which is similar, and i am looking at 2 navy 6 outboards. i have no engines atm... having got rid of the Dolphins. i will make my own 48v lifepo4 battery, much cheaper and larger capacity. it is difficult to move a 7 tonne boat

Hello Roland, The ama deployment for the 16.5 is virtually identical to that shown in the video. The mast can be raised singlehanded, using one of the headsail halyards in 10 mins.

They go up to 35ft. You'd need to option it up extensively and it might be cheaper to buy a more expensive boat, if that makes sense. Personally I think Viko are good for sailing around the coast, I wouldn't do crossings in any of them. It's horses for courses mate.

They've announced a 43 footer now

Yep

@@jakedick7880 care to expand...

Cygnet 20s are indeed beautiful little boats.

The Sygnet 20 is probably the perfect trailer sailer, but sadly there is no way to get one in North America. 😔 I'm probably going to have to settle for a Com-Pac 19...

I'm not sure what you mean but, no, we do not build, just deal in new and used trailer yachts.

Thank you

I'm 6'5 so headroom's just something I live without.

@@ericturner2477 I've done a lap of Australia living out of a camper trailer lol You just adjust to it. This type of boats not for 8 week ocean crossings. It's for hugging the coast and river systems, lots of opportunities to get on the beach for long walks. The headspace issue wouldn't stop me mate. $47,000 AUD compromises have to be made, you can't nitpick at this price point.

@@ericturner2477 yes I have a Reve De Mer, no head room but a joy to sail, even offshore.

I'm afraid Hermione has been sold. If you would like us to inform you when we get another Jeanneau Sun 2000 in stock then get in touch with us through our website: Boatsonwheels.com
