Eco-friendly Design and Performance

By keeping the yacht simple and lightweight, the Eco Panther Seriesachieves the capability of being fully electric and eco-friendly. Motoring at7.5 knots, it uses only 16.11 kilowatts of power in total.

The yacht boasts an impressive 95 square meters of solar panels; however, given the vertical surfaces and shadows of the hull, achieving 100% efficiency is not feasible. Therefore, we have taken a conservative approachand calculated a maximum output of 12 kilowatts on a good day insteadof the full 16 kilowatts available.

Regeneration Capabilities and Range

While sailing, this yacht with regeneration capabilities at 7.5 knots, is capable of charging2.09kW, enhancing its efficiency and sustainability.

Range Under Power

Yacht range under motoring varies, but if we ignore hydro regeneration and solar, running offthe stored 62 kWh of batteries and operating the generator at 5.7 knots,you can achieve a range of approximately 1000 nautical miles with a seamargin.With inclusion of the solar (max 16kW)will extend easily to more than 1,800NM.

Electrical System

The primary electrical system of the yacht operates at 48 volts, poweringthe propulsion and all other high-load features such as winches, windlass,line driver, water maker, and more. The rest of the yacht, including thenavigation lighting system and pumps, runs off a 12-volt system. Additionally, the yacht is equipped with a 5kW Quattro inverter charger to powerthe electric three-burner induction hob and convection microwave, ensuring efficient operation of onboard appliances. The yacht also has 110 or 230Voutlets and USB-C charging ports throughout, providing ample power forall your devices.

Ventilation and Bright Living Spaces

Yacht ventilation has been thoughtfully considered, with every cabin featuring overhead hatches and portlights to ensure plenty of airflow. The saloon is equipped with two forward-opening flush hatches, two side ports,and an aft sliding window, along with a sliding saloon door, all contributingto a bright and airy living space.

Enhanced Performance Features

While the Panther Series is designed to be simple, it comes with a hostof extras built into the yacht, ensuring a luxurious and convenient experience. One standout extra is the full carbon mast with a carbon boom withlazy jacks and sail cover, which enhances performance while keeping theoverall weight down. The yacht also comes equipped with a fully battenedmainsail, headsail, and flying sail, providing exceptional sailing capabilities.Additionally, it features a McConaghy RIB with a Mercury 7.5e electricoutboard for reliable propulsion when needed.

Steering and Navigation Systems

The steering system is designed for performance, utilizing a lightweightrace yacht chain and rope setup, complemented by a chain-driven auto-pilot for precise handling and control. The navigation system includes acomprehensive B&G package featuring two 12-inch touchscreen displaysfor routing, wind, speed, heading, and more, ensuring seamless and intuitive operation.

Deck Gear and Maneuverability

We’ve carefully considered the deck gear layout to reduce the amount ofdeck gear for weight savings and ease of maintenance. This yacht is primarily designed for short-handed sailing, so we opted for a single powerwinch located under the deck, forward of the mast. This keeps everything clean and efficient for hoisting sails and reefing. Additionally, two winchesare positioned aft for sail handling, along with a traveler line driver. Theyacht also features easy-to-operate daggerboards, with ropes led back tothe two aft winches and locked off on clutches.

Innovation Anchoring and Sailing Design

In our design, we use a carbon fiber longeron with no cross beam for furtherweight saving, and the anchoring system is integrated with an anchoringbridal for streamlined functionality. Thanks to the self-tacking headsail andline drive, the yacht makes tacking upwind incredibly easy, allowing you toperform maneuvers without even leaving the helm chair. For long-rangecruising, the autopilot can maintain a head-to-wind position for hoistingsails, and the yacht can sail under autopilot, making it suitable for single-handed sailing or easy handling with a couple. Once friends are onboard,this yacht has the power to be let loose and run.

Modern Interiors and Luxury Features

The interior features an ultra-modern design, complete with soft lighting under lightweight floating furniture and a sophisticated blend of satinblack interior finishes with carbon highlights. This is elegantly combinedwith grey soles and lightweight liners, creating an inviting and stylish atmosphere that will appeal to both young and older clients. Adding to itssophisticated design, the Eco Panther Series also features ultra-modern EVA half-deck and foredeck finishes, which help maintain a lightweightstructure while providing a refined and contemporary appearance. Theforedeck is equipped with plush sundeck cushions, creating the perfectspace for bathing, entertaining, and relaxing with a nice glass of champagne and nibbles.
