Sail/Solar Boat v1.0 (TL 8)
    Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer
        
        Sailboats are quiet and non-polluting leisure craft, but sailing in the
    confines of a marina can be difficult. For this reason, this sailboat has a
    solar-powered aquajet.
        The boat seats four in an open cockpit and four more passengers in the
    really cramped cabin. Much of the deck is covered with solar cells, but the
    sails and people on deck will probably limit them to half performance. That
    is compensated by advanced batteries in the keel with power for 36 hours.
        The boat is a TL08 vehicle [Mar. 96 errata].

        flotation hull with fine lines (flotation 20 tons), 100 sf top deck.
    Propulsion:  40' mast with 800 sf sail area (DR 2, HT 200) for 2.4 KW per
        mph of wind and a 10 KW aquajet (DR 5, HT 10).
    Power:  10 KW solar panels and 360 KWh advanced batteries (DR 5, HT 100).

    Accessories:  Bilge pump, environmental controls, two dumb minicomps (C2,
        DR 3, HT 4, electronics), two sets of navigation instruments (DR 3, HT
        6, electronics), two GPS, two multiband radios, cellular phone,
        commercial transponder, spotlight (DR 5, HT 2, exposed equipment).

        mph/s, MR 0.5, SR 3/4, draft 3.6 feet.
