I may never ever have to use it but in the event where there is days of clouds and a hurricane heading my way I want diesel to escape the atoms path. I think the current 500 gallon capacity I too little to power the generator at the sustainable speed I want along with keeping the a/c running all the time, etc. I also like to be able to sustain 17-20kts to get to my Destination quickly. I this will make the Yacht more of a Blue Water live aboard yacht.

I did see where you guys cross the Atlantic by traveling south from Europe to Africa to South America to Florida is ridiculous and risky in the same path where most of pirates. Not exactly Blue Water yacht in the current configuration.

I absolutely love ❤️ the layout of this yacht! Very well thought out! It’s like a sailboat but without all the work! Sailing is work but this beauty Truly luxury! You guys did a remarkable job creating this work of perfection I’ll love to own! When I decide to make a purchase how long is the wait to have the yacht built? ….and is this yacht current configuration (of course not a ice breaker, lol) able to go to colder climates like Alaska, Canada, Northern Europe etc?

The Silent 55 is amazing and has three motor options,

1. Cruiser: 2×30 kW

2. E-Power: 2×250 kW

3. Hybrid Power: 2×220 HP + 2×14 kW (can achieve top speeds of 20+ knots)

And they have a "Kite" and "Sail" version as well.

Kite

The Kite version features a towing kite with full automatic control. The SILENT yachts as well as the Kite System are adapted to complement each other perfectly, offering noiseless cruising and unlimited range but without any emissions. Conventional sails require a lot of space on the deck as well as maintenance and create shade on the solar panels. The Kite flies in altitudes of between 100 and 150m where the winds are much stronger, so the kite generates up to 20 times more power per square meter.

Sailor

“Sailor” – In addition to the perks of the “Cruiser”, the “Sailor” comes with the added convenience of sails. This is noiseless cruising without any emissions and with unlimited range.

In fair winds, while you are using the sails the batteries are charging. If the wind stops, or if you want to go against headwind, you can continue noiseless driving by switching to the electric propulsion.

I honestly think this company could be the first company that creates an ECO friendly Silent yacht for cruising all around the world. I will be very interested to see them grow and to see the first hull using this "Kite" technology along with the electric motors.
