Miloke
This is Miloke
Originally built for the grandfather of current Feadship Makkum yard director Sijbrand de Vries in 1932, Miloke became the first Feadship to be fitted with all-electric propulsion after a rebuild in 2019. She features a Water World 10 kW engine, a 12 V Side-Power bowthruster, six 48-volt batteries and a Mastervolt charger. The 'engine' itself was not difficult as it only took a couple of days to install and replace the previous diesel one. The real challenge was to fit the batteries and all the related equipment for electrical power in a yacht of this size and age. This is where the Feadship craftsmen's unrivalled ability to make the best use of precious onboard real estate came into its own, with batteries being placed behind cabinets and under the floor. They also ensured the vital communication between the different equipment and the engine in a project which was completed with students from the Feadship Academy.
