At the end of May 2021, I attended a narrowboat trials day arranged by boat builder Ortomarine. Starting on the River Severn and going up the Droitwich canals, eight boats using a variety of power plants would have their fuel, efficiency and any solar input measured and compared. This video summarises what happened and the results.
Update 31/10/21 - they’ve finally (!) released the event report. See https://www.ortomarine.co.uk/wp-conte...
