the insulated hull ensures that stable onboard temperatures can be achieved without excessive energy consumption.Ī watermaker powered by the solar-electric system produces enough water to supply a full complement of guests. in addition, a reverse-cycle heat-pump system heats the interior for all-season comfort. The SILENT 60 is equipped with the company’s aeration system, which provides cool and fresh air to all the interior guest spaces and can be individually adjusted to suit conditions. the lifting hydraulic platform between the two platforms can also be enlarged to carry a 4m tender.Īutomated app controls move the kite to a position right above the boat
two swimming platforms in the stern can be extended on the owner’s request to carry a pair of electric jet skis. Thanks to a draft of under 1m the yacht can access shallow bays, a crucial consideration for cruising grounds in the caribbean and south east asia. the yacht also has high headroom throughout (up to 2.3m in the main salon).
there are numerous social areas onboard, including an airy main salon, an aft cockpit, a cozy bow area and a flybridge. The first SILENT 60 has four guest cabins on the lower deck, including a spacious master suite, but other layout solutions are available. The kite wing is stored in a locker under the foredeck the kite wing is now available on all SILENT-YACHTS models. from here it can easily be winched down and collapsed over the foredeck ready for stowage. the automated app controls move the kite to a position right above the boat where it has the least pull on the line. reversing the process brings the kite down. pulling on the lines launches it into the air and once it reaches the optimal flight height, it begins to trace a figure ‘8’ in the sky and generate power to pull the yacht. on the first SILENT 60 unit, the mast is connected by four shrouds to pad eyes on deck that distributes the forces through the hull structure, but on subsequent units, the mast will be mounted on a baseplate inside the locker to leave the foredeck clutter-free.Īfter inflating the kite, it is released overboard to drift away on the surface of the water. The kite wing and its components-including an electric winch and a short, collapsible mast-are stored in a locker under the foredeck. the 60ft (18m) yacht is also backed up by a battery capacity of 286 kWh, allowing zero emission cruising for up to 100 nautical miles per day.
42 solar panels generate 17 kWp to power two electric motors of 200 kW each. SILENT-YACHTS unveils the new SILENT 60, a solar-powered catamaran with a kite wing instead of conventional sails.
