Yves Béhar offers hanging form and type to this new hybrid-electric catamaran idea

Solsea is a brand new idea catamaran from Rossinavi. We’ve beforehand lined the Italian shipyard’s Seawolf X, the primary of its new technology hybrid-electric catamarans to be launched. The Solsea idea has debuted at this yr’s Design Miami, showcasing not simply Rossinavi’s pioneering tech, but additionally a modern design, in and out, by none aside from Yves Béhar.

Béhar is an achieved sailor and surfer, and the venture has introduced these passions collectively together with his studio’s give attention to sustainable know-how. The design additionally extends to using sturdy cork flooring (provided by Amorin) and, appropriately sufficient, ocean-sourced recycled plastic wherever the fabric is required.

For his or her half, Rossinavi has benefited from Béhar’s unconventional strategy to naval structure. ‘It’s been an unimaginable journey to see how Yves Béhar reimagined the naval platform of our hybrid-electric catamaran,’ Federico Rossi, Chief Working Officer of Rossinavi, ‘His contemporary, exterior perspective introduced a method that’s each luxurious and refined.’

Inside and outside, the Solsea idea reveals a softer, hotter strategy to design at sea. The Solsea’s superior battery and photo voltaic panel system has been integrated into the superstructure, with photo voltaic panels doubling up as shading constructions on the expansive deck.

As with Seawolf X, the mix of panels and on-board battery permit the yacht to offer an 80% discount in gas consumption whereas cruising. It might even make a transatlantic journey beneath 80% electrical energy. For extra relaxed day journeys, Solsea is designed to function 100% electrically. Quick charging ought to take round 5 hours at a suitably geared up marina.

Three years in improvement, the brand new catamaran additionally makes use of Rossinavi’s superior onboard synthetic intelligence system, Rossinavi AI, which manages the distribution of power between the catamaran’s methods, batteries and powertrain. When moored and unoccupied, Solsea has a particular hibernation mode that may switch energy from the photo voltaic panels to the quayside.

Inside, Béhar and his group have taken full benefit of the 43m catamaran’s broad beam, with a full-width proprietor’s cabin that provides 180-degree views and a personal exterior balcony. The principle deck has a lounge pool, whereas the rear sundeck has a bar and beneficiant seating space. ‘For me, Solsea is a return to easier, extra respectful methods to benefit from the oceans whereas integrating the way forward for environment friendly propulsion, and cutting-edge applied sciences,’ says Béhar.
