Ask your rich friend to paypal me some money i need it

Thanks Helmut

me too.....would be my first purchase

Lol, I am pretty sure an 80’ boat generates friends

Thank you kindly!

😆

Having catamaran and trimaran experience, this 80 pushes all my buttons except I would want more power when necessary. But the square footage is absolutely astounding!!! And I hear Sunreef is building a 165ft cat!! No telling what that one would sell for, maybe $30million+. I bet the beam would be 80ft. or more!!

@@dieseldog00 I imagine owning such things - the only reason I watch videos like this. In my imaginary life I am a mono-hull devotee.

all what plagues you is doubt..and lack..that is your energy..stop self doubt and stop self lack..all is well...last comment of yours was filled ocean passage, not that it will ever be in my price range. you mind is arguing with you..tame your tiger..or dragon..every thing is possible at any time..and any place...smile..and relax..stop the over annilitical mind...every thing is fine..and keep smiling and laughing..no doubt..what so ever...blessings to you

Thank you Ariela!

I was thinking about that too. I know companies make UV paints that reflect the heat. I think I would select a lighter colour. But, I guess it might be moot with all of the black solar panels :)

@@ToeTag1968 best way to reflect UV/Infra Red is with a white surface, hence the number of white boats. It also has the best pigment stability

@@user-oe2ti1fb8r True. What I was getting at is that with all of the black solar panels on it and teak decking, the paint colour that you see probably wouldn't matter a whole bunch. I'd still probably go a lighter colour like a light pastel blue, green, or traditional white.

most of the surface is solar panels so the temperature probably averages out to be the same with a white paint. white paint reflects 10 to 20% of sun's energy while solar panels absorb 20+% of sun's energy. painting the spaces in between the panels white is gonna look weird for that extra bit of heatproof.

I run solar powered AC on my offgrid cabin, and the beauty of it is usually the hottest time of day generates the most usable power for such luxuries as climate control. And it allows me to get away with a smaller battery bank, as I don't need to store the energy for later, I just use it right then and there when it's most needed.

Nah, barnyachtiniums are meant to be like that.

It's not designed for participation in the Sydney to Hobart my friend, give credit where it's due?

Just looks wrong. 💯 % agree

We have a naval engineer over here...

Yeah there are plenty of cats that don’t have fly bridge. What are you gonna do for the people who want one, get another brand to make one. Then your gonna go there and tell the to remove flybridge too.

Is a Lagoon a "real sailboat"?

I imagine under power she probably does around 5-7kn, but an 80ft cat will easily sail at 9kn+ all day. Rather be in a Gunboat going 25+, but I imagine the type of owner who buys a Sunreef isn't really that interested in competitive sailing, but rather in entertaining

@@GoodkatNW Polars would be interesting...

The owners fly in while the crew sails it to whatever destination is chosen. I am pretty sure it can do a lot more than 6 knots. There is a lot of sail area there.

@@GoodkatNW Imagine if Gunboat, bañulsdesign, McConaghy or Marsaudon Composites did a ~80ft Performance trimaran. Something that looked like the Rapido 60, Banuls/McConaghy 53 tri, or the Dragonfly 40. Something with a folding dinghy garage in the stern...

@@angela1984a Would be wicked! I've always wanted to see a cruising version of the RTW tri record holders. It would have an extremely limited market of course, so unlikely to ever see it happen

Agreed - they are already designed and in the pipeline for superyachts!

Nope

This boat has two diesel inboard engines for when not crusing under sail, along with two diesel powered generators. It does not have any electricrically driven propulsion. The solar planels only provide charging power for the hotel battery bank. All the vertical panels are useless, as solar power generation off reflection of oceanwater is zero. It's just a flex as it's the company owner's boat showing off what they "can" do in terms of construction technology (panel intergration). It's a technology demonstrator, nothing is practical or useful in the real world.

@@TexasStormChaser that boat has only electric propulsion. Diesel generators back up just in case solar panels are not enough. Solar panels charge both hotel load and propulsion.

@@anastasiyamyslivets969 I find that impossible, that size boat wouldn't be able to use electric propulsion. Simply not enough solar or battery. Range would be... maybe 10-15nm on battery before you had to run the diesel generator constantly. That's more inefficent and less "green" than just using diesel propulsion.

Sorry they were out of bounds... as the crew were, well, living there!

I saw a KZfaq video of a large cat that transited the Panama Canal and had some problem and needed to get hauled out. They had to go back through the canal because there was no place near that could haul them because of their beam. Imagine what that cost.

@@robm.7568 Fortunately that wasn't me. I specifically bought the 48' that I did because it would still fit in a lot of travel lifts beam wise. I'm quite glad I didn't go any bigger as 25' seems to be the max that most places can haul out.

Gunboat 90 'Sunshine' is something to behold. Seen her in a few harbors over the years but she stays out on the hook mostly. WHY would you want to go anywhere near a marina?

@@dancarter482 Sometimes it's nice to just hook up to shore power and be able to just walk somewhere instead of having to ride a mile on the dinghy.

@@edwardnigma2216 "nice" comes with a price!

If you covered an entire tesla model 3 in solar panels, it would take approx. two months to charge the car if left in a parking lot without any cloudy days. That's why nobody does it.

@@TexasStormChaser tesla model 3 is a terrible design of car and not very efficient. the aptera has a solar roof.

... is listed in the specs at the end

Look at what else is created in this category of yachts... This at least is A LOT better than a lot of other stuff... Just as one example: It doesn't have several metric tons of LEAD hanging in a keel...

@@angela1984a Logically you are right: the only person in the world who needs to change is whoever consumes the most, everyone can wait their turn until they are the highest consumer. Also, by your logic hitler is "good" because stalin killed more people.

Envy much. I'll tell you.. it uses less energy in terms of fossil fuels.

@@cpvsgvmnt2116 it may be green in that it doesn't use fossil fuel but OVERALL no one should squander the amount of resources and energy to create this thing. So much greenwashing .

@@johnlindawoertendyke8981 people can squander what resources they want. It's their money. How about this.. when you have 25 million to drop.. you can go and do what you want with it. I swear.. you liberals love telling people what to do. Reminds me.of another liberal telling me I should own the several homes I have.

That is an understatement.

I think you can order it in any colour John!

Why?

@@CG-99 because he's poor and can never step aboard a sunreef.

Yep!

An Oman 320 kilowatt without fuel can be made.

it's well known for years that there is more of a carbon footprint in producing an EV compared to an ICE vehicle. the 90,000 miles is grossly exaggerated and besides, even using your stat; Average ICE vehicle lifespan is 200,000+ miles, new BLADE EV batteries can get 300K+ miles. so, you do the math on eco savings of 1 EV compared to 1 ICE Vehicle over its expected lifecycle.

@@vorjay my experience with electric vehicles , and battery power , the battery cells will fail at the 90k Mark, esp with more charges .

@@davidwarnes5158 well first of all. most lithium ion batteries in EV vehicles are under warranty for replacement if they don't retain 75% of their charge after 150,000 miles or 8 years. so, I'll just chalk this up as "my experience is...I just read it on the internet"

@@vorjay read on the internet by the supplier builder , rubbing chin, Evan if those batteries are under warranty, that just extends to period of not as green as conventional , ffs Those new ones then become a new car . Lol keep reading

Old technology is always used to make new technology. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve, right?

@@ToeTag1968 …I agree, we should always strive to advance and invent new methods of making our systems better, but that’s not the point of my above comment. It’s the constant lying by the environmental and green energy side that is the problem. There’s a 2019 documentary titled _Planet of the Humans_ which showcases and exposes the absolute fraud of the entire renewable energy industry. Surprisingly, it was funded by Michael Moore, a somewhat radical leftist…so he deserves a lot of credit for exposing the truth about the green industry. These environmental and clean energy groups smear fossil fuels as practically being evil, yet they’re using those vary evil sources to produce their not-so-clean and green and renewable energy. Research into lithium mining sites and the enormous toll they take on the environment, it’s bad. Really bad. But you’ll hear nothing from the those groups about how environmentally toxic those sites are. Instead they’ll pivot onto something else to avoid the conversation. Now, I’m not saying the fossil fuel and material industries are saints…far from it, and they lie as well. My point is stop the lying and *just tell the truth.*

My thoughts were the same what about the environmental issues in the building of the boat I won't call it a yacht and by the time the solar panels need replacing the rich owner will have moved on to the next toy

An aluminum hull is cooled by the seawater. This wouldn't work with fiberglass but would be just fine on metal. Agree with you on the lifespan of the panels requiring a VERY expensive refit down the line on a then 20-year-old boat. Cost would be prohibitive and likely never done. Those with the money to do it would likely just buy a new one. But, the boat could still be used as a sail catamaran with generators and low input from solar.

...it would be something without sails, solar panels, hydro generators and batteries.

Either to help disguise the solar panels - or to be a Bond villain?

Ok ok. How about this one, just posted: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6p_msqmqN7Ngac.html

lol. any boat used for recreational use over 40 feet is generally referred to an consider a 'yacht' and considering it's considered a yacht under CE YACHT COMPLIANCE CLASSIFICATION in EU it's a fucking yacht.

ok dud

it makes sense, because other locations add windage. It doesn't make sense because the boat will get too hot inside.

otherwise it is a beautiful vessel...

@@michal03966 A ok, I didn't see well! Thank you for the clarification! 😉

@@selleluca It's a Russian owner though.

@@eelcobrouwer1838 He said it belongs to the owner of Sunreef, who is the CEO/Founder Francis Lapp (born in France)

What’s the problem if there’s a Russian flag, or that it’s owned by a Russian?

@@eelcobrouwer1838 the owner is Francis Lapp the French owner of Sunreef and the company is in Poland.

it's an eco-friendlier alternative to the current trends in motor yachting.

@@vorjay Actualy no, it's as non recyclable as fiberglass witch was banned in car manufacturing at the end of the 1980's. Carbon Fiber is 100% polymer. (plastic derivative from crude oil, put simply.)

@@pirateracer69 I wasn't talking about the material used to make the hull, I was talking about the yacht in general. it uses 20% less fuel under power than the original Sunreef 80 and can-do ocean crossings on sail only. which is why they are calling it the Sunreef 80 eco. why are you people this way?
