Jeremy knows a lot about measurement of battery energy (as I do with an electronics background) so once we have a fair way to measure energy for all contestants

If you provided some kind of smart meter fitted to each contestant boat, then you could maybe use it as a handicap generator -

Spot on. A small meter to measure the energy, then a formula to allow for race time. Also another prize for the most efficient motor/hull combination.
