Maybe if you had a long cable with the batteries on shore...

The batteries would need to be quite beefy to run at full power for a decent amount of time.

Plus probably another £1000 for the batteries

If you fitted a wind turbine and the boat was therefore powered by the wind, would that make it a yacht?
