I'd prefer that over a house anytime

In England on the Thames, we rented a beautiful 12 seater electric boat. Until you drive one, you can't imagine the difference.
-
Very cool. They could have snuck in a few more panels by using the edge fully. It could fully cover the bulwarks. And could have a sliding section that goes over the fore deck. And with AI autopilot that can see any obstacles it can sail unattended. Then it's magic.
-
I wonder if they'll make smaller versions for single sailors or a couple's cruiser in the 40' range.
-
Most kudos go to the efficiency of the vessel and the low impact on nature and still innovating. Lovely yacht 🪢

I've always like the idea of these boats, not because they are "green" but because it frees you, to a large extent, from fuel costs and lengthens you stay at remote destinations. The only real improvement these boats needs is the ability to run at atleast 10 knots without the Kite assistance. It is not hard at all to find yourself in a 4 to 5 knot current or wind at that would always require additional power to maintain a positive speed. Nonetheless, really nice boats! Great video!

Fibreglass definately isn't green, but that's my only big gripe. The rest they do well (saving some weight may not be a bad idea). I do love the idea of being able to cruise around without having to literally buy tonnes of diesel.
-
Can you cross atlantic ocean with this boat?
-
Are there any of the new 64/80 on the seas?
-
I have to find a way to get one of these incredible yachts sailing on San Francisco bay!
-
How about the efficient are these solar panels at charging
-
all the doomsday preppers going to be buying this up
-
Imagine with passenger cruise ships, including mid-size versions might happen later in life even if the whole world did this. Even United Caribbean Union must do this also including work together helping each other for the year 2024 and beyond.

Stupendo e soprattutto davvero green
-
Would love to have one of these. Hoping for a crowdfunded retirement. Join the Crew

While not a bad video, i feel you shortchanged the Silent 60 by failing to mention the optional Kite Sail System which increases the range & speed over ground capabilities of the yacht nor did you mention the various power/energy configurations available. Oh, and the canned clips of the Silent Yacht in the Med, please.
-
What if this set up was in a normal motor yacht,Would it be near as efficient as a catamaran?
-
Will it make it from California to Hawaii.?
-
i want one, but i want that generator gone and a high powered battery pack in place of it :), it would function the same as the generator it would just be like a back up battery bank but it could actually run the whole boat, and you could use it to either boost your speed or your range, that would be AWESOME!

How much does it cost?
