More than 99% of sailboats on the water today run on diesel. That's about to change. Volvo Penta — the company whose engines sit in more sailboats than any other brand on Earth — just went fully electric at the top of its lineup, with pod drives scaling past a megawatt of power each. In this video we break down what they actually built, why an incumbent doing this matters more than any startup announcement, the secret sailing catamaran project with 100 test captains that came before any of this went public, and the joint venture between major boat builders representing 60% of global sailboat production that's quietly betting the industry's future on electric propulsion. We also cover the honest limitations — charging infrastructure, range, and cost — that nobody's putting in the headlines.
