Key to the design is a new solar electric power system developed by Silent-Yachts, which both feeds the electric propulsion of the vessel and supplies all its household energy needs. The catamaran will offer greater comfort, independence, reliability and safety with less maintenance and costs than any conventional fuel-dependent propulsion and energy-supply, says the manufacturer.
