Hi Billy and Sierra. I really enjoy your channel so thank you very much for all that you do. I just want to ask your opinion about my plan of buying an old catamaran with worn rigging and worn engines. My plan is to remove the mast, boom and sails and replace it with a kite system(kite-boat-systems.com), install as many solar panels as possible, install as many wind turbines as possible and install lots of lithium batteries. Finally install electric motors to avoid the need for fuel and maintenance. My one problem is what to do in case of a squall. Can I just let the kite sit at 12 o’clock or do I take it down before a squall? No mast and boom saves cost and weight. No expensive rigging to replace every 10 years. No problems with bridges. What do you think? Thanks again and have a great day.
