SOLARIMPACT YACHT_78’ SOLAR YACHT
[ WIP ]
A
fter five years of research Swiss company SolarImpact Yacht AG chose
Cannes Yachting Festival 2018 and then Boot DĂźsseldorf to showcase a virtual 3D model of a futuristic 78-foot solar yacht that ticks all the big boxes: luxurious convenience, modern design and sustainability and the all-important seaworthiness. This innovative solar craft not glides virtually silently through the water, but puts the SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) principle to good use to reduce rolling and heeling by up to 90 percent. The energy self-sufficient solar yacht has a surprising and very fast top speed in excess of 20 knots too and all key systems are highly automated, so that a single person can control the craft. The 78-footers also offers 340 square metres of luxuriouslyappointed but highly functional living space on three levels. Owners will enjoy a wide choice of interior furnishings, design, and modern lighting, air-conditioning and sound solution options to boot. The primary energy is supplied by a total of 300 sqm of solar surface but a diesel aggregate provides consistency of power in long periods of cloud cover, for example.
