Nigel Calder's boat has lithium-ion batteries and he is testing experimental electrical and propulsion systems on a Malo 45 (actually 48 feet) that was used by the European Union's hybrid marine project, of which he was the technical director.
Cote encountered his own stainless steel washer failure on one of his first electrical jobs and literally melted the fuse holder, making it a formative learning experience about connection integrity.
The Firefly battery inventor lives near Cote's location (about 20 miles away), providing opportunity for direct technical engagement with the innovator.
