Electric Seas is a resource for
the worldwide community of electric boaters and anyone interested
in safe boating and clean seas. This website aims to provide
current news and information on this subject, as well
as to serve as a place for industry representatives
and interested individuals to meet and
discuss electric propulsion as an alternative to combustion
propulsion for recreational watercraft. Useful features
on this website that you will find are: aggregated news about
electric boating on the main blog page, a forum for
discussions about anything related to electric boating, a
commercial directory of companies that are involved in electric
boating, a collection of technical resources, an events calendar to
plan community events, a marketplace for electric boating related
books, original designs and gear, member profiles to get to know
your community and integration with other social media
platforms such as facebook, twitter, and Yahoo.
To join Electric Seas, it's easy
and of course, free! You can use your facebook, twitter,
Google or Yahoo IDs to sign in and then create your own
profile or one for your company. If you have an electric boating
related company you are welcome to promote and share information
about it with us. Regular members of Electric Seas can
participate in the forum and comment on blog posts. If you
would like to add content to the blog or help moderate the
forum, please let us know. Electric Seas can be whatever the
community wants and will be as useful as we all make it.
The Electric Seas website is maintained
by the The Electric Seas Organization, a non-profit organization
(California registered public benefit corporation, seeking
501(c)(3) status) which was formed to educate the general public
about electric auxiliary propulsion for recreational sailing
vessels. We believe that electric power systems are the ideal
choice for auxiliary propulsion on recreational sailing vessels, as
well as many other types of watercraft in general. The Electric
Seas Organization intends to serve as an advocate for clean
and safe propulsion systems on watercraft through this
website, through attendance at boat shows and through outreach
efforts. We also intend to promote and sponsor a fleet of electric
powered vessels to demonstrate the advantages of electric
propulsion. Our demonstration fleet is available to show to the
public and some are being tested to their limits to mark
the path to the future.
Our members and supporters are
committed to helping to make our seas cleaner, the world more
secure and our experience on the water safer and more
enjoyable.
