Consideration for the environment is something that Pearson Marine Group is no stranger to. Whether it was our involvement in the wind blade business and hybrid vehicle industry in the early 90’s or development of the styrene-reducing SCRIMP technology 15 years ago, it’s always been at the core of who we are. Electric propulsion is not a new idea; submarines and small vessels have utilized this technology for decades. However, the utilization of a brushless motor and lithium polymer batteries in a 33’ sailboat is new. Our partnership with MasterVolt Industries allowed us to launch the first sailboat in the US with their new “e” propulsion system. Not only is this system completely void of any need for maintenance, it also regenerates its batteries while under sail. Unlike so many environmentally conscious products, this concept is not “Green” for the sake of being “Green”. The system has a very desirable and marketable trait; the ability to continue the mystical silence of sailing after the sails are down.

Pearson Marine Group is no stranger to the process of bringing a system such as this from concept to reality. Having the best engineers and designers in the industry coupled with a culture of innovation and leadership allows for an exciting project like this to come to life.
