No, because you are not connected to them with a circuit. The only common path is the water.

A very close rule of thumb is that for every 25A of power generated requires 1Hp from the engine. The reason I say rule of thumb is becuase a certain amount of energy is lost due to friction of the pullies/belt/s. So based on that rule of thumb, a 100A ALT output is going to require 4Hp from the engine. In saying the above, ALT installations of 85-100A is about the max when driven with a single belt. Above that current rating, it should be a twin belt system. but twin V belts have a lot of friction. This is due to that the V belt is driven by contact with side of belt and side of pull

Excellent interview with Isabelle Joschke. https://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/news/22331/isabelle-joschke-i-just-want-to-enjoy-this-sunny-day-to-feel-and-enjoy-the-stillness-under-my-feet-right-now-nothing-more Those boats sound like a nightmare to jybe. A tightly matched fleet That was super exhilarating and exciting, Every 4 hours there you had new standings, there was a new verdict. But at the same time I found it hard, sometimes I found it very hard in the manoeuvres. I felt I couldn't always run them together. In the gybes I could see I was losing ground. I was frustrated and
