1. Boats get hit by lightning would. What happens to the boat if it’s hit? Gorgeous boat. Hope the technology works well and catches on. Would love to see this baby in action. 😊❤

2. The advantage of this system is one person can sail this through a full watch and tack repeatedly alone in virtual silence without them having to leave the helm …they could also sail her from a wheelchair or having prosthetic limbs or limited strength …. 😎. It can also depower at any point of the compass by pointing the wings into the wind. You can raise or lower each mast independently .

   I hadn't realised this was built by the Solar explorer yard their second vessel was a conversion of a racing Trimeran …that attempted to make and store hydrogen in fuel cells….but the way electric and batteries have been progressing it looks like BEV has the advantage on land and water .
   The latest cells that are being built are Li Sulpher and have about 5 times the energy value of Li ion. and will be cheaper and lighter especially compared to NMC. Cells .
   CATL seem to have produced 1/3 of the batteries of all types in electric vehicles in the world to date and their latest Li Fe PO packs they are guaranteeing them for 12years or a million km and 10,000 charging cycles. See the Electric viking or transport evolved Channel the other is the Fully Charged channel a few months back.

   By working with modern green replacement composites like flax … Recycled plastic core material and the Natural Rock that shall not be named 😂🤭😎 and chemically engineered wood .. the energy, CO2, water and material costs and Wt can be reduced. … Decking material can be chemically engineered wood or reconstituted cork…. Which lock in CO2 and weigh even less … more important in production series yatch's than one of demonstrators.
   First time I saw this vessel I compared it to the Citroen SM of the seas. It has that French combination of technicaly innovative design and futuristic luxuary looks. 😎🤞🏻👍🏻🧙🏻‍♂️

   Conventional sailing rigs always seem to be an overly complex solution for an old-fashioned problem .

   John are you familiar with the Hitchhiker series of Australian yatchs and their unusual rig set up ?

3. For everyone moaning about the price, it's not that far off the cost for a high spec Sunreef 70 Eco. Even the new Lagoon 82 is a similar price.

   This might suprise you but: expensive things are expensive. This is not a volume production yacht.

4. I'm really excited about this concept. The future of sailing is not an exaggeration. Competition yachting changed forever when wings came in and sport always leads the way with technology.
   When you get down to tin tacks though, the telescoping carbon fibre may be new tech (but not really). And the software shouldn't be that hard to evolve.

   I feel there's a shift under way already towards power cats as engines are becoming more efficient, and hybrid and full electric tech matures. (Think Silent Cat.)
   Add in this evolution of sails, and you have my ideal life afloat. (And a life that isn't all about polishing stainless!)
   Just as long as we don't see F1-style mast collapses eh!

5. Amazing. Will be interesting to see how this innovation unfolds. If I was able to consider such a yacht, I would commence dialogue. Thanks for introducing us to her.

6. Yay! So excited to see/meet you at the Annapolis Boat Sow!!🎉

7. So this modest! boat is supposed to be environmentally friendly seriously?😂

8. Umm ahhh hmmm

9. Just watch "The Holy Grail"! It is phonically described 🙂 ( aaaaaaaaa) as in aaaaawwwww .So it is Caaaaawwwwwnns (s= soft z.) LOL. Sort of a softened way a Brit would say ; i can't do it or it can't be done

10. Is it emp proof?❤😊

11. VERY COOL BOAT –-IF THIS IS THE NEXT GENERATION, BOATS OF TODAY WILL LOOK ANCIENT IMMEDIATELY

12. The safety aspects of being able to luff the mainsail and reef it at the push of a button- or whenever the sensors detect high winds is a lifesaver. No boom swinging around etc….

    I think that Chris White achieved the same thing at a fraction of the cost with his mastfoil on the Atlantic Cat 47.

13. Wow – this was interesting. Would love to see an update after it's been used for some time – say about 6 months.

14. I'm a litte curious because this vessel with this technic has been shown to public for over a year right now, they offer charter etc. but there is not a single video out there showing the wings lifting up, retracting down or sailing it at all. If anyone knows a video showing this in real action, please let me know. Yes, I'm aware of the advertising videos from the shipyard…

15. One question you didn't ask it what is the tipping angle with those masts fully extended, how likely is it to capsize?

16. Hi John and Eli, it is great to see you both out and about at Cannes (Caan/carn?). The ModX is an interesting boat for sure. Thank you for all you valuable questions. I know that many sailing speed record boats have use a wing designs and in Americas cup, etc. where they use multi-piece wings that allow for changes in shape to generate great efficiency. I note the lady kept talking about the 'flap' at the back of the sails. Does this mean the sails are asymmetrical? Or are they symmetrical in design at the front with an adjustable wing at the rear to give the overall curvature needed for power? Also, is the 'sail' more traditional sail coth (read: more flexible and more easily ripped?) or is it a more advanced type – as it doesn't seem to have any mylar or other carbon features in it? How much for each sail and can a back up be keep and installed at sea? She's a fairly heavy boat, is the hull Carbon?

    I'll bet you are thinking it is a shame it can't be 'beached'!? You could easily hide out a cyclone in a mangrove estuary with sails dropped like that! Oh keep an eye out for my brother (short and stumpy like me – with a small beard) at the Annapolis boat show. He may come and say hello as I tell him all about your build all the time. He sails a trimaran out of Brisbane, remember? Ok Godo bless the two of you and stay safe in America.

17. Really nice 👍

18. It certainly deserves to be the future of sailing. In the age of the iPhone. Sailing is still using biplane tech. Wire triangular sails etc are not aero dynamically optimised. Buy a Neel sans mast and add.

    Thanks a lot guys great video. The French lady also gets my vote for knowing her stuff. Totally cool 😊

19. ❤crikey you two, bit flash. 👍😊🌏🐬

20. Caan pronounced Chan. ?

21. This yacht is the next step in innovation for Wing Sail boats, first designed by Walker Wing Sails in the UK in the 1970's. However, it's a shame they are aiming for the super rich clients instead of people of more modest means, who want to continue sailing in their twilight years. A smaller catamaran with one Wing sail, priced in the 500,000 dollar range, would see many interested people queue up.

22. Great video 🎉

23. That should be 250kWh, not kW.

24. Guys , really simple. It's CAN just like a can of drink.

25. There is a reason why initial builds of eco boats are all big cats.
    The problem is that solar etc need a lot of space, and batteries are pretty darn heavy.
    A bigger boat gives you inherently faster speeds die to the longer waterline length, and even for cats they are talking in terms of deploying more panels sideways from the boats when moored etc.
    None of those factors are going to change rapidly, and there are tight upper limits not too far away on battery weight especially.
    We can design a boat right now with enough on board solar for housekeeping over winter to be pretty free from the need for shore power, as for instantance the Mulder-Healey does, but to power a boat it may be more practical to make fuel such as methanol et al from land based renewables, in spite of the obvious losses in such a system.
    Nothing wrong with folk sailing if that is what they like to do, but there were reasons why the old wind powered clippers stopped transporting goods.
    They could not compete with fossil fuels.
    I find it questionable whether if the aim is to travel by sea with minimal environmental impact the best option is to have the complications and weight of sails of any sort, unless you want a pretty substantial vessel anyway.
    For, say, 50 foot and under monohulls fuel cells using fuel derived from renewables may be a way simpler option.

26. We can’t wait to see you in Annapolis! Please let us know where you will be!!

27. I would love to meet you in Annapolis.

28. Be safer around lightning. Or would it (being carbon fiber)?

29. Very nice summary, thanks Jeanne and all!

    250 kWh battery capacity not kW.

    Cannes is pronounced closest to "con".

30. Those wings will change the market in a long run o believe

31. In the town they say CON like con artist or lawn darts. Is this the future of sailing? Absolutely not. For sure there will be innovations based on this design, I'm going to draw up some plans to make a much smaller, cheaper one. The big hurdle is the wing and controlling it, but I think a weathervane will be a good start. I'd be curious to see the numbers that made a regen prop better than a bigger battery. That's the dynamo wheel that rubs on your bike tire to make a little bulb light up. Maybe fold up the props, let the sun do the work. Fantastic boat though, amazing! I love it!

32. ❤❤❤

33. This is the future of sailing.

    It’ll be the default sail type in 20 years.

    Phenomenal design.

    The price will half within 5 years.
