The Sunreef 60 Eco is a fully electric sailing catamaran, embodying the vision of sustainable yachting. It features a massive propulsion battery bank of 140 kWh and two 55 kW electric engines integrated with the rudders, which can turn up to 90 degrees. This setup allows for efficient energy regeneration while sailing. The solar panels on the carbon fiber Bimini enhance energy efficiency by converting sunlight into electricity effectively.
Lightweight Construction
To minimize weight and maximize performance, the Sunreef 60 Eco incorporates extensive use of titanium and carbon fiber. Titanium is used for the engines and table supports, saving more than a ton in weight. The mast, Bimini, and flybridge are all made of carbon fiber, reducing the overall weight and increasing the yacht’s agility. The sails are made from laminated Aramid, further contributing to the vessel’s lightweight and robust design.
Luxurious and Eco-Conscious Interior
The interior of the Sunreef 60 Eco is designed with understated luxury, featuring Burmese reclaimed teak floors and natural teak veneer throughout. The saloon is spacious and decorated in a Zen style with black, silver, and gray tones, complemented by a private art collection. The cabins are designed with a unique color scheme for practical purposes, ensuring that each cabin has distinct towels and glass colors. The master cabin boasts Carrara marble in the shower and Lalique toiletries.
Sustainable Features
The yacht’s sustainable approach extends to its air conditioning system, which can run throughout the night without generators, powered by the propulsion battery bank. The yacht also uses a silicon-based antifouling coating, contributing to an additional knot in cruising speed by reducing chemical use.
This yacht not only provides a luxurious sailing experience but also represents a significant step towards sustainable yachting.
