Ed Sherman is a prolific writer about sailboats and their systems, and is also an ABYC instructor. See what he has to say about EY after his introduction by our dealers Jim Newell and Fred Pegley (Electric Yacht Canada) in Halifax earlier this month: Here is his blog entry:

Bob Wise is a customer of Electric Yacht and has the unfortunate destiny of living aboard in the Carribean:

There is always impartial, informative dicussion in that Yahoo Group, although it covers the broader topic of all electric boats, not just sailboat auxiliaries. There is lots of discussion on battery technology and selection too. Take a look:

Here is the blog That Bob Wise maintains, and this entry in particular features reflections of another EY customer, Merrick White.

Here is Merrick White's interesting account of live-aboard experiences. Not a lot of reference to the Freedom 32's EY System, a sign that it's working well. He does have a link to Mapspot, which tracks their trip on a Google map. Very cool.

Nigel Calder, renowned writer on all topics related to boat electrical systems, has a significant observation about the future in his opening paragraph:
[June 9, 2010.  This blog has been usurped by nefarious commercial posters so here is Nigel's key statement]:
"As a full-time marine technical writer, I track technologies and write about them. Over the course of the past three or four years, a number of new and exciting technologies have been introduced that, if successful, will revolutionize boat electrical systems and perhaps propulsion systems. I believe we are on the cusp of a series of systems revolutions that will result in more changes to our boat systems than anything we have seen in the 25 years that I have been tracking these things."
