A man from Bremen, his boat and the new heartbeat: how a sailboat in Mallorca quietly went electric

Answer

Why are some boat owners in Mallorca switching from diesel to electric motors?

For many owners, the appeal is practical rather than trendy: electric propulsion removes diesel smell, avoids starting problems, and cuts down on maintenance such as oil changes and rust issues. In Mallorca, where many boats spend long periods in harbour, that can make seasonal upkeep much simpler.
