Abstract
In this study, design of hull and test of model boat were carried out with electric propulsion small boat driven by photo-voltaic energy. The shape of boat was made with catamaran type by considering the ship's stability, the light-receiving area from solar. According to calculation, when speed of model boat is 5 knots, it was estimated the available power for propulsion with 1.1[hp]. However, the natural energy such as solar energy is strictly dependent upon the climate conditions so the real boat speed is slightly lower than the estimated value.
