So far I've got a 120W solar panel, I have to work out how to fit more panels on, and I've only got one battery on board so far. I've got space to fit another couple of batteries.

But it does have an outboard... the mighty 9.8hp 4 stroke Tohatsu!

I guess it could cross the Tasman, I've seen 28ft vessels doing that trip, or sailing up to the Whitsundays from Brisbane, this old gal is 22ft. The longer the hull, the faster the speed it's capable of.

Having no prior sailing experience.... I dunno!
