Island Spirit is transitioning not only the sailing catamarans to E-Drive systems, we are also doing so with our commercial tour catamaran offerings under the Austhai Marine brand.

Therefore, we have developed a scalable E-Drive system that can be applied across all of our product offerings utilizing standard components, architecture and software.

In the development phase of the Island Spirit 525 we took into account designing for E-Drive from the very beginning. This covers many aspects of the design process including but not limited too:

Minimize the vessel weight through the exclusive use of composites and not use heavy marine plywood in the build.
Efficient hull design to minimize the power required to move the boat through the water.
Utilize commercially available EV technology
Design to over perform
