Just recently I received this message from an associate who is installing a Glacier Bay system in his vessel: On December 26th the first production catamaran, a 43ft Leopard to be chartered in the BVIs by Moorings, with the Glacier Bay diesel electric system left Cape Town for Miami. They hope to display it a the Miami Boat show in February. It has the same 2 x 35hp electric motors as Asanagi but only one of the 25kw gensets. Therefore the motors are only powered as 2 x 16hp motors. Usually the 43ft Leopard is fitted with 2 x 30hp Yanmars with a top speed of about 7.5kts. With the electric motors their top speed is about 8.2kts. Brian Eiland beiland@usa.net www.RunningTideYachts.com distinctive expedition yachts
