I was a bit(lot really) sceptical about marine electrical propulsion but having seen electric catamarans on other channels I realise that as long as the solar panels are sett up correct with the batteries and motors then they are a viable proposition and infinite travel is possible. It does help of course in more sunnier climates than the arctic northern waters 😎 Cheers
Very interesting boat. I’m a bit disappointed in upper range performance. I not a speed freak, but would like to have a bit more top end when needed, say 17-19 knots - I also know this is directly impacts electricity generation. I wonder what option there might be for larger generators, kilowatt motors, and battery storage ( i also imagine this impacting the size of the boat). I wonder how much contention there is between propulsion and house systems use there is on this boat. As we see with aging Naval vessels, their upgrade capabilities are limited by their power generation limits. Wonderful Video and you’re right, this is the future.
Cool boat ...but a hydro generator? How could that possibly work? Anchor in a current is the only thing I can think of. Hydro generators only work on sail boats...where they can be very effective.
Horses for courses when it comes for electric.This is a silent, fume free party boat for island hopping and marina partying. Impressing girls wearing not a lot. Nicely built, I saw it in the yard a while back, good solid technology. Not for crossing oceans though, electric and a semi planing hull cannot achieve a realistic range. But for short day trips between picturesque ports.... well yes.
I can't stop thingking turning the sunpad in the bow into another solar panel series so it can be more self-reliant out at sea... And that will be the mono-hull version of silent yachts.
The electric propulsion and the range are attractive but the design certainly is not - way to boxy / slabby / rudimentary for my liking, and clearly the boat needs a lot of finessing before it could be considered ready for delivery. From the looks of the boat I initially assumed it was a test mule. Regardless, it's good to see low consumption propulsion systems being more widely adopted.
for me way too bright inside! There should be more solar panels like on Sunreef yachts integrated in the hull. The Fly should be longer and the battery bank much bigger. But its the first or almost the first of its kind. A company in Istanbul do the same but since years... They would give me with a 24 meter yacht Diesel/Hybrid yacht almost 3000 nm range. But its a nice looking gem!
The future is coming. Better batteries is coming. Better electrical motors is coming. More efficient solar panels is coming. More competition is coming and $1.8m will go down. The future is coming.
The world isnt ready for electric boats nor vehicals it still takes fossil fuel to power everything so whats the pay back? The boat is nice looking tho
yes it makes a lot more sense for a catamaran both for the reasons you mentioned and obviously also because there is a lot more surface area that can be covered with solar panels.
Completely agree! Especially given the price point. The value for this size boat and build quality isn’t here (at least for me) but if it was a 47’ cat, more palatable. But $1.8 for this boat is nuts.

Awesome to know Turkish company is doing well on electric yacht

I think there should still be some planning for a backup outboard motor. 😂
I like this hybrid set up just like the Greenline yacht family. There's speed and power when needed.

Amazing power plant system. Would love to see that system used in the Long-Range "Britt" you covered.
That would be cool!
@@YachtBuoy just found your other coverage of the British designed boat 78 that is being constructed.
🙌🫡
Was that the Bering 145 in the background?
it was indeed 🙌

A Bering behind it perhaps?
They are developing cat. Don't know if they have the time for another project.
is this a Bering product? couldn't help but notice the Bering shed and the 145 next to it.

solid state bates 56 nm rabge
How would she do in rough water?
If solar only 2 hr how to cross ocean travel overseas Long distance ??power and range of rough sea the prop is not strong enough
Care about the enviroment? So which enviromentally friendly batteries are they using?

2 more years, solid state batteries

Sloppy workmanship on the roof solar panels. The Greenline Hybrids seem faster and more efficient. I like the interior accent lighting though.
This marine technology way too slow outdated
1.8M INSIDE REALLY BAD
I'm sorry, but green without legs is a pass. At least put some sails on it.
2500 miles at the speed of most sail boats. Besides sailboats motor sail many cases anyway.
Its ugly, but nice idea

I think electrics have to be catamans. This hull moves too inefficiently through the water and clearly shows its current lack of stabilization.
2500 miles is not bad. But I'd like to see when more sunreefs yachts are solar hybrids.
yes it makes a lot more sense for a catamaran both for the reasons you mentioned and obviously also because there is a lot more surface area that can be covered with solar panels.
Definitely agree, catamaran or trimaran is the way to go

To the environment it can be efficient but how about the electromagnetic waves to the human?
