Pajot unveils Catamaran 110’ Eco Yacht design
Marc Pajot has revealed his latest design, an eco-yacht.
Involved in the design of racing multihulls since 1980, highly decorated sailor Pajot says the ‘radically innovative superyacht catamaran project’ is a combination of new and coordinated concepts.
It’s been created by a team including Nicolas Fauroux, engineer at the forefront of naval architecture for 40 years, and Franck de Rivoyre and Christophe Larose, structural and rigging engineers. Pajot says several shipyards with a strong international reputation are currently being consulted.
Its eco credentials come in the form of an economical and environmentally friendly hybrid operation including low drag of catamaran hulls, hybrid propulsion by electric motors and sails, service power supplied by hydrodynamic generators, and a large solar panels area of 70 m² (752 sq ft).
It means, says Pajot: “No more heavy, complicated, fuel-consuming and noisy yachts. Catamaran hulls with a low hydrodynamic drag, a simple and efficient sail system, a large source of solar and hydraulic energy associated with hybrid electric propulsion bring technology to the service of ecology, [it’s the] birth of a real E yacht.”
He says the assembly of the hull structure and the aluminium nacelle, the composite coachroof and flybridge superstructures, and the carbon rig, embellished with new design features, create a combination unprecedented on the market.
