Congratulations to your boat trip to NY.
I am very interested to learn more about the technical details of the entire solar system:
Type, Square, Wp, speed, engines ect.
Thank you in advance

Solar power is everywhere and it is growing everyday. We can use it in many ways. This is another great example : )
