t’s time once again for Practical

Sailor editors to announce the year’s

top picks with our Gear of the Year

(GOTY) roundup. Each year, as the fall

boat shows—and the deals that come

with them—appear on the horizon, we

pore over the numerous products we’ve

reviewed in the previous 12 months

to select the cream of the crop for our

Editor’s Choice awards. We hope the

list will help readers better navigate

any boat-show or end-of-season shop-

ping. is year, we picked from the

Best Choice products evaluated in the

September 2010 through August 2011

issues, and here ... drum-roll, please ...

are the 2011 GOTY awardees:

ElEctric OutbOards

Over the years, we’ve seen big strides

in the electric outboard market. While

the pragmatist looking at dollars-per-

knot or range prior to refueling may

not think it’s time to switch to electric

propulsion, making the move away

from oil-based power has many bene-

ts: better air quality, less noise, lighter

weight, and best of all, no more lling

the tanks with expensive or ethanol-

blended fossil fuel.

In our January 2011 look at electric

outboards, we reviewed two Torqeedo

engines, the new Travel 1003 and the

previously PS-tested Travel 801, and the

Electric Paddle. We tested the trio on

various boats, including a 10-foot Avon

inatable and Wing Systems rigid dink.

All are suitable for inatables, dinghies,

and small sailboats.

Testers were impressed with the

Torqeedo Travel 1003, which proved

to be a signicant upgrade to its pre-

decessor, the T-801. With 30 percent

more battery power, plus an increase

in thrust and eciency, the new unit

is even more user-friendly. Rated as a

3-horsepower outboard, the 7-pound

motor has a beefed-up, well-engineered

bracket to clamp it to the transom, and

both the tilt adjustment and the battery

support are more ruggedly structured.

Instrumentation (charge level, speed,

and GPS position) has been added, and

everything from the control handle to

the cabling has been rethought.

We tested the new Torqeedo

on a light, round-bilged

Wing Systems rigid

dinghy that literally

leaped to life with a

twist of the wrist. e dinghy planed

instantly.

At full throttle in at water on a 10-

foot inatable, the 13-Ah battery has a

range of 2.1 nautical miles; half-throttle

range is 6 nautical miles; and at low

speed, it’ll run for about 11 miles.

Testers gave the lightweight, thrust-

ecient T-1003—which comes with a

two-year warranty and a $1,899 price

tag—two thumbs up and named it the

Editor’s Choice in electric propulsion.

(Since our test, Torqeedo has made

some improvements to the T-1003, in-

cluding the ability to solar charge its

batteries.)

The Year’s Top Gear

The Torqeedo Travel 1003, tested here on a Wing Systems dinghy on Chesapeake Bay,

earned the Practical Sailor Editor’s Choice award as the electric propulsion pick.

From bullet blocks to TP, these are the must-haves.
