The Round Britain eRIB team have been reflecting on their success and the development of zero emission propulsion in the marine sector. Electra has been sold to a private individual based between London and Norway and will likely be seen on the Thames next year, and then in the protected waters of one of the Norwegian marine conservation areas after that. The performance of the 100% electric powertrain was faultless with challenges limited to data and control systems rather than the powertrain itself. In great condition, the team were able to sell her at a good price and once the accounts are up to date will be able to make charitable donations in the region of £5,000. The team are thankful for all of your support, both financially and with your interest, words and messages. Please now encourage all powerboat users to consider alternative fuels so that we can all see the benefits of zero emission propulsion around our coasts and in our coastal waters.

Electra, the powerhouse who successfully got the Round Britain eRIB team to circumnavigate Great Britain in just 31 days, 20 hours and 46 minutes is for sale. Electra is the first electric boat to have gone round Land’s End, and now this record-breaker could be yours. She would suit a marine conservation activity as she has a low freeboard making it easier to work in and out of the water, also she has a large flat deck behind the seats which is useful for kit and equipment. With a double battery configuration, she will go for about 15 hours at 5 knots and with a deep V-shaped hull she is very stable in choppy conditions.
