Or cheaper, lighter and easier to pack we could see our motors as electrical assistances for foil wings to facilitate take-offs and/or waterstarts which are today the 2 pains of the activity… motors positioned mid mast to avoid folding propellers (1). We know ebikes, we could have ewingfoils for those 8 to 20 knots of wind days…
@ELEVATE.rocks, a market for you and your autonomous pod (to be presented here in a few days ?). The idea being that it is swiched-off and out of water most of the time.
(1) Water touch downs won’t be an issue without folding prop if a water detector switches the motor on automatically when detecting water
