am I the only one who would cover it in photovoltaics like a floating glasshouse/power plant for maximal autonomy and privacy and usable living space and use it as a houseboat on a river, near the coastline…or if you will in international waters? when we get barrel sized thorium reactors than of course I would go for a submarine option….

Love the concept, now use your “genius” to make a solar cat humans can afford. A solar cat for a family, not to entertain a corporate party of 30. Any naval architect can do a lot with a bigger boat for millions+. It takes a genius to do the something similar in a smaller boat?
Keeping the ratio of panels to top surface area, is a under 40’ silent-cat possible? Can the beam be 4.5m to make a coastal and canal traveler, not a bluewater liveaboard? For working people on vacation who would like to be “green” also . I’d like to see a “genius” do this.

This is exactly what I wanted to do. Buy a de-masted 45 foot cat, Have a large, almost boat long canopy constructed and fill it with solar panels. Change out the engine for an electric motor and batteries and go. I have been wanting to do this for years, just have to find the right boat.

It looks great for calm water, but what’s it like in rough weather cloudy days, etc. how can you power through a storm with those batteries?

Most users probably won't spend more than a couple of days per month at sea. At anchor solar power will be more than enough, because you have about 10 times the solar panels you need for a cabin in the Caribbean etc. They'll simply schedule their runs for the sunnier days, or make use of batteries and generators to make up the difference.

– Because someone asked.

Anyway need to add pair of foldable masts with wind turbines. In sea may be no sun when wheather is bad or night become (always half of day) but wind almost always exist and on anchor stay you can charge battery from wind. Also mast may be have wing shape and be covered by solar panel too.

"Very modern, very large"…..and Very ugly! It might be comfortable and quiet, but you still got to look at it on the water. Nobody is going find beauty in this vessel, unless you're a barge captain.

I would like to ask some questions which you have not touched on. You kept on talking about expected power use in favorable conditions. OK lets ask the tough questions, how is rage affected with a two knot current, how is range affected by a moderate sea state let alone storm conditions, That battery bank is tiny, Some SUVs have in excess of 250KWH batteries. 286KWH does not seem a lot for crossing oceans given you can only generate 100 KWH of solar a day which in effect can only charge the batteries to a 1/3 of their capacity on a perfect summer sunny day. I believe you will be relying on your generator more often than not to charge your batteries. Crossing at ocean at four knots is just not a practical solution in my very humble opinion to extend your range. I would have loved to have informed how long it takes to charge these batteries 1) by solar when say at 20% capacity 2) by generator at the same 20% and what is the fuel usage of the generator when working at max capacity. I would also have liked you to comment on how you charge this boat when at the dock. That is a huge amount of power that is required to charge the boat and also requires specialized electrical connections. I would also be interested in who they have to get to service the boat. If you are talking ocean crossing vessel I want to make dam sure I can stop almost anywhere to get something fixed/repaired. I have a feeling for this reason you cruising grounds would be very limited. Some may say I am being cynical or difficult but the issues I have mentioned are very relevant.

It is missing items that you would need to make an ocean crossing. Things like water makers. They're also fitted sparingly with dining tables extra.
The other item, is a catamaran is fitted out rather practically, than luxurious.
Another item is the speed. You mentioned hotter climates in your chat. If you have a cyclone, hurricane, etc. how is this going to push the miles away, to get out of the way of bad weather. Those systems, travel a lot faster than 6 – 8 knots?
This seems to me, to be a short range weekender, for a family and a few friends, to head out to the nearby islands.
