Marine Electrical Tech
Self-Employed
2019-2020
I successfully converted a 41 foot ketch sailboat from diesel to electric. This process involved
extensive research, calculations and design, fibre-glassing, wiring and troubleshooting. It was a
year-long project which I successfully completed. I also designed, built and installed a carbon fibre
arch with solar panels. The electric conversion has proved out with over 2 years of sustainable
cruising.
Technologies Used: Electrical system modelling, Cable management, Harness crimping, Composite work, Solar panel and controller installation, 48v 400amp battery bank, Trouble shooting and Testing.
Aviation and Design Student

Projects
Electric Sailboat
- Converted a 41 foot Dufour ketch sailboat from diesel to a 48v,
400 amp battery with an 18KW liquid cooled electric motor, with an 800w solar array.
Electric Skateboards
- I have designed, built, tested, and sold over a dozen electric skateboards. the latest of which is 4wd with 175mm pneumatic tires and a custom made carbon
fiber and PLA deck.
Electric Trike
- I needed an inexpensive ride to zip from Metchosin to Camosun three times a week. I welded a trike frame, designed
and built the drive system, built a custom battery enclosure, and programmed the control system.
UAV Drones
- I have designed and built many drones over the years. My fave is my race drone with a
FPV camera and goggles.
