This catamaran motor-yacht has been designed from scratch specifically for electric power. Her long and slender hulls and a fine entry at the forefoot ensure minimal drag resistance and can be driven on a whisper. If you’re looking for a greener lifestyle with minimal emissions and radically reduced diesel bills look no further.
Powered by two 50 kW electric motors she will cruise at 6 knots on battery, and have an unlimited range at 4-5 knots directly off the solar panels. Battery power is provided by 100-150 kW LifePO4 battery bank(s) charged by the 8kW solar array which is backed up by a 50-100kW genset for cloudy days. With the auxiliary genset she can run continuously even on rainy days so there’s never any down-time. Quick charging can also be achieved at the dock over the shore power cable.
Electric power means virtually no maintenance compared to a diesel-powered boat. Electric drive-trains have essentially only one moving part in the motor and those bearings are usually rated for a lifetime of service. The lifetime of savings in maintenance and fuel compared to a diesel drive are very real. No oil changes, no mechanics to hire, no mid-life rebuilds.
The catamaran is characterized by comfortable cabins, inviting salon and huge open areas. Each unit can be customized to Owner’s requirements.
Power: 2 x 50kW Electric Motors
