"Zero eliminates diesel engines entirely, replacing them with an all-electric power and propulsion system with a DC grid at its core, and photovoltaic-thermal panels that capture the light and heat of solar energy."
"When the wind drops, she can cover 400 nautical miles on electric propulsion alone - the equivalent of cruising non-stop from Monaco to Mallorca."
"The advanced heat recovery system converts thermal loss into usable energy, such as hot water, while insulated aluminium cooling panels built into the ceilings and walls across the cabins and living spaces replace a traditional HVAC unit."
"Innovations like these sit at the heart of the yacht's design, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency in modern yachting."
Sailing yacht Zero, a 226-ft ketch, is the first vessel to run entirely on renewable energy, featuring a world-first hydrogeneration system. This system propels the yacht and generates electricity without diesel engines, utilizing an all-electric power and propulsion system. Zero can travel 400 nautical miles on electric power alone and incorporates energy-saving technologies to reduce hotel load significantly. Innovations include a heat recovery system and insulated panels, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in yachting.
