Alastair Callender’s dimostra come l’eco-design possa unire due necessità che per alcuni sembrano esser opposte. Lo yacht Soliloquy lungo 58 metri riesce a mantenere le caratteristiche proprie della sua categoria lusso pur a emissioni zero. Sole, vento, tecnologie ibride e basso consumo di carburante permettono a questo elegante yacht di raccogliere sufficiente energia per 12 ore di navigazione a 8 nodi.
Keeping luxury afloat, Alastair Callender’s eco-friendly Soliloquy yacht proves that future pleasure vessels can maintain opulence without damaging the earth. At 58 meters long, wind, solar and hybrid marine technologies power the rigid wing yacht, resulting in zero emissions capabilitity, lower fuel costs and a quieter journey. Originally intended for the environmentally conscious crowd, the Soliloquy is attracting attention worldwide not only from activists but also designers and sailing enthusiasts for its innovative use of a rigid wing rig of three solar sails, which can collect enough energy during 12 hours of sun to allow the Soliloquy to run fuel-free at nearly eight knots.
