Having a self-sufficient boat isn’t negotiable for us.  Because we spend weeks and sometimes months away from civilization.  So, managing our resources is a must and we’re always looking for better ways to do so.  And that is exactly where Hybrid Electric comes in.

It’s all about drastically increasing our range, efficiency, redundancy and a whole lot more.  Any manufacturer who isn’t installing a similar system will.  Because Parallel Hybrid motors have all the benefits of both electric and diesel propulsion but with even more functionality…like hydrogeneration. This system is one of the big reasons we were drawn to HH Catamarans.

It’s a simple system but it has many modes and that is why we have dedicated an entire video to our hybrid electric set up.  So, if you’ve been curious about what it is, how it works or who it’s for…this one is for you.

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.

We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.

Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.

We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.

Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity
