Silent Yachts unveils its new Silent 60, a solar-powered catamaran with a kite wing instead of conventional sails. The ship has 42 solar panels that generate 17 kWp to power two electric motors of 200 kW each. The yacht also has a battery capacity of 286 kWh, allowing for zero emissions.60 is designed to go everywhere as a true bluewater cruising yacht. The solar-electric system is configured to power all on the onboard systems without the need for a fossil-fueled generator.
The kite will generate power to pull the yacht while gilding in a figure of eight motion in the air. Controlling the kite’s movement is simple as an automated app is available which the owners can use. To bring the kite back down, the controls will move the kite above the boat where it has the least amount of pull on the boat. From here you can easily winch it down and collapse it over the foredeck for stowage.
