Celebrating The Gussies Electric Boat Awards
The electric boating revolution is truly underway! As the electric boat market continues to ramp up in the move towards ever increasing decarbonisation, so do the awards that recognise innovation and excellence in this market segment, culminating in late 2024 with the 5th edition of ‘The Gussies’.
After voting by more than 6,000 members of the public and an International Judging Panel of 32 electric boat experts, the boats that took first place in their respective categories as best representatives of ‘excellence in electric boats and boating’ are highlighted below.
Voting was weighted 75% Panel to 25% Public. In many categories, this was an incredibly tight competition – so much so that in one category when all of the votes were added up and weighted only a few points separated the first to fourth place finishers.
The awards are named after Gustave Trouvé, the French inventor who decided the best way to work on the electric motor propelling his prototype boat ‘Le Téléphone’ along the Seine in 1874 was to devise a detachable unit so that he could tinker with the motor in his shop at home. It was the birth of the outboard motor.
At last year's awards more than 150 boats from 25 countries and every continent entered ‘The Gussies’ and carry on Gustave Trouvé’s legacy. Congratulations goes not just to the winners but also to all the designers, builders, technicians and everyone involved in bringing these boats to life and for helping to grow electric propulsion everywhere. The future indeed looks very bright.
