It'll Never Work - An All-Electric Lobster Boat

by FAFB 12th August 2024
The story of converting a 1978 Cygnus GM21 to all electric and solar power

The film follows the real-life struggle of converting the UK’s first fishing boat to solar and electric power to fish at a competitive and commercial level.

It's set on Scotland’s West coast in the scenic and alluring Argyll village of Tayvallich. Over the course of almost a year it runs with the highs, lows and challenges related to the venture as well as the determination and skillset of the builder and skipper.

Visit the project's website for more information and to see the full film.
