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.
