Paris gave us a good test of the state of the art of marine electrical tech; we're going backwards. 
The reality that with the best sources available for supply(charging), the most efficient devices available on the demand side, and he has to optimize sailing direction for best charging, and cut back on demand, show's we need the next generation of technology, either on the supply or demand side, just to keep from going backwards.
