When the team from Round Britain eRIB got in touch about getting Harry qualifications for driving in diverse conditions in the day and night-time, we jumped at the chance to support them. On this amazing journey with the Round Britain E-RIB challenge, we hope we can learn more about how our industry can accelerate the process of making environmental changes in powerboating.

The EBA champions the interests of electric boat owners. Since the late 1970s, there has been a revival of interest in electric boats for pleasure boating on the inland waterways around the world.

The future of most marine propulsion systems will turn to electric. International, national and sector policies all point towards a zero carbon future and, regardless of the energy source, electric is the obvious choice for the future of boating. Our advice is to use professional installers when considering going electric, use quality equipment conforming to industry standards and make sure you inform your insurers as cover under your policy may be affected.

The world-leading marine clothing manufacturers were keen to jump on board and support this enterprising green initiative, aligned with their intent to 'inspire the next generation of adventurers, to push boundaries and challenge the norm'. 

 

"It’s been really interesting to learn about Harry’s challenge and the complexities associated with it. It’s such an important issue that needs attention and we have a huge amount of admiration for what he is doing. We hope this is the start of positive change in the marine industry and will show people that it is possible to still enjoy being out on the water without negatively impacting the marine environment. The path to true sustainability is a long one, but together we can play our part in protecting the environment.”
